In Texas Hold’em a hand like top pair is a sure hand with which it is permitted to play a pot when the size of the latter are not exaggerated and signs of strength demonstrated by our or our opponents are not excessive. But there are situations where you need to know how to let go of a hand like top pair or if the kicker at our disposal is not the best that is what qualifies as a medium kicker.
When even the kicker card in question is very low, for which we could not talk about kickers, our Texas Hold’em loses further value, and should be managed as if it were a medium pair.
Love of the Top Pair
There are Texas Hold’em players who think they have in hand the nuts when flopped top pair, regardless of the kicker with which the hand is accompanied. These are the enemies of Texas Hold’em that we have faced every day.
Play these hands in an excessively strong means being in a situation in negative expected value, because you either win a small plate or if it loses a large.
And this is certainly not a good result in Texas Hold’em. To put it another way in these situations we share from our opponent when his hand is better than ours. Remember that to play a large plate takes a strong hand, and with a top pair medium kicker is not.
The strength of
Certainly I am not saying to drop the dish immediately before a show of strength of our opponent. There are many hands in Texas Hold’em is allowed to be aggressive and in this case we may have faced an opponent with a medium pair, a draw or a pocket pair that is being compared to medium pair flop.
Faced with the points of our opponent is therefore appropriate to test him, not just to follow passively. As I always say Texas Hold’em is a game where players have the best aggressive, not passive ones that they stand with folded hands. In so doing you will end up facing a player who will continue to focus, increasingly, either because semi bluff or because he tied his hand on the turn. Do not let this happen. Put to the test on a possible continuation bet with a raise, so as to collect as much information as possible, and apparently re all in the case of perseverance of our opponent. Texas Hold’em is a game with incomplete information, always gather as much as possible in order to prenderele better decisions.
