NEW RULE

I’m officially playing any pocket pair, for any amount, at any time.

Get a load of this:

$2-5 NL. Preflop raise to $55, I've got pocket 2s, one other caller (behind me).

Flop: AT2 ($300 goes into the pot. Total pot $450)
Turn: T ($1,000 more goes into the pot)
River: 2 (Everyone goes all in. Total pot $2,700)

One guy has AT (Tens full of aces)
The other guy has KT (Trip tens with top kicker)

I would have had QUAD DUECES

BUT I DIDN'T CALL THE $55.

Even though you flopped a set of 2's would you have played after the turn with two T's and an A showing? I probably would've folded considering the betting from other players was so high. Then again, it also depends on my position.

(did you mean quad 2's?)

Oh, I just might be playing some hold'em this weekend.......wish me luck. =)

Yes, Quad twos (thanks).

Yes, I was behind on the turn (way behind in fact), but I would have been THRILLED to put myself all in. Full house over full house doesn't happen much.

gay story, cause you know better. that's even worse that a bad beat story. its
you making a sound play, that would have paid off if you were a donkey. you know
the rule. you have to be getting at least 10-1 IMPLIED odds to call a raise with
a pocket pair. if not, its negative Expected Value. see, I do know a lot about
this game, I just play dumb, its more fun.
