How you play your small pocket pairs(22,33,44,55,66,) OOP on blind levels 10/20, 15/30? If villain min raises I tend to just call. If he 3xbb I generally like to fold 'cos I found it tough to play those OOP and when there is always coming overcards on board. Is that a leak? Tho it's depending what kind of opponent I have against. The Angler At 10/20 I call and look to set mine vs most opponents At 15/30 I call vs players that are passive post flop either for set value or to float the tight guys. I'm inclined to 3bet TAGs who raise alot of buttons and fold to cbets often with the idea of cbet donking any safe flop. Against anyone that makes life too hard for me post flop I'll fold to a 3x OOP two2go I think it depends more the on the stack sizes compared to the blinds rather than the blinds themselves. At large eff sizes I call for set value and when short-stacked mostly shove over the raise for value. In between would depend on how frequently villain is raising, his postflop play, gameflow, etc..

If you're not comfortable playing them OOP, you can at least call them for setvalue if the amount you call preflop <= 5% of your stack. For example, if blinds are 10/20 and stacks 1500, you can call 75 more (so a bet of 85). Even if you'd only continue with the hand if you flop a set, an overpair, or some OESD, it's worth calling pre. To be honest, I would even prefer you raising your small PP all-in over folding them pre, if you don't know how to play them... U Cook Socks Re: Playing small pp's OOP early levels on match?

If he 3 bet, you would be in position surely ? aggsyb I just call OOP early on to a 3x etc as long as stack depths are over 30-40bb , if its within my first 2-3 buttons , im probably jamming most over a 3b when readless 55/66+ maybe 44 (15/30) (turbos) FunkMastah Re: Playing small pp's OOP early levels on match?
