Whilst there’s no argument that QQ is one of the most powerful starting fingers in no limit Hold em, it also can be challenging to wager on correctly. The trademark of a good player is one who can win massive pots though losing modest ones. What this means is the fact that the very best players minimize their losses once they do lose a hands and maximize their profit when they win. Queen, Queen is one of the starting arms that separate the succeeding gamblers and the losing ones.

When you might be initial to act or the very first gambler who has not limped into the pot, you should raise most of the time. You’ll find two reasons for this. The very first is you do not want anyone to see the flop for low-cost, especially palms with an Ace and smaller kicker. The second reason is that you have to do every thing you are able to to uncover the strength of one’s opponents hands. By raising, if one within your opponents re-raises and/or moves all in, you will have a difficult conclusion to generate, except you may well be able to have away from the hand should you believe your opponent has AA or King, King. This is the absolute worst position to be in. In addition, QQ plays greatest in opposition to one or 2 opponents. You really should keep all of your pre flop raises roughly the exact same to not give away the strength within your palm, usually three or four times the large blind.

Playing Queen, Queen following the flop is usually straightforward. If you may have proven power by raising pre flop, continue to show strength until one within your opponents convinces you that they have a far better hand. This includes when an Ace hits on the flop. You must wager to represent an Ace in your hand. When you check, that you are giving your opponents permission to steal the pot from you, as you will have to fold to a bet. After you wager and an opponent calls or raises, you then must choose if they truly possess a far better side or not. In most cases they are going to have a far better side because you may have proven power two instances and they must respect your hands, unless you might have been betting too loose.

You will discover a few situations in which I will check following the flop. They each take place when I am in the palm with an aggressive opponent and I feel I have the perfect hand. The first is when a Queen hits on the flop giving me trips. By checking, rarely will a free of cost card hurt me if my opponent does not wager and this gives them a chance to bluff off far more chips to me. The other situation is when the flop does not have an Ace and appears ragged. My plan when this happens is to move all in when my challenger wagers right after I check. There’s danger in the two of these predicaments, in particular the later one. Your challenger might have hit a set, by which case you might be drawing nearly dead. Even so, I have discovered that the periods they can’t beat my palm far outweigh the instances they can, so these predicaments are profitable.

The key to both of these is that you just must be certain your opponent will take the bait and bet. Giving free of charge cards is usually harmful. I do not do this when two cards of the identical suit are on the flop except I did flop a set. Whenever you flop a set, you’ve several outs to a full house, even against a flush. The other thing is that these plays usually do not work really well against the perfect competition. They’ll respect your palm and will probably be less likely to bluff at the pot soon after you verify except you do a excellent job of acting weak. Following showing pre flop strength, this is often difficult.
