Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Remember, that a big pocket pair
Remember, that a big pocket pair is still just one pair. In order for most of your opponents to put a lot of chips into the pot, they may want to have more than just one pair in their hand.
If you find yourself in a pot
If you find yourself in a pot against a player that is showing a lot of strength, chances are, he is holding a hand that has one pair beat.
