While there is no argument that Queen, Queen is one of the most powerful starting fingers in no limit Texas hold’em, it also is usually challenging to play correctly. The trademark of a very good player is one who can win huge pots even though losing smaller ones. What this means is that the best players minimize their losses once they do lose a side and maximize their profit when they win. Queen, Queen is one of the starting palms that separate the succeeding players and the losing ones.

When you’re initial to act or the first player who has not limped into the pot, you need to raise most of the time. You’ll find two reasons for this. The very first is you don’t want anyone to see the flop for cheap, in particular arms with an Ace and small kicker. The second reason is which you have to do everything it is possible to to locate the energy within your opponents hands. By raising, if one within your opponents re-raises and/or moves all in, you will have a hard decision to make, but you may well be able to have away from the hand in the event you believe your opponent has AA or King, King. This is the absolute worst position to be in. In addition, Queen, Queen plays ideal towards one or 2 opponents. You really should maintain all within your pre flop raises roughly the very same to not give away the strength of your side, usually three or four occasions the large blind.

Betting Queen, Queen soon after the flop is usually straightforward. If you may have shown power by raising pre flop, continue to show energy until one within your opponents convinces you that they possess a much better hand. This includes when an Ace hits around the flop. You must wager to represent an Ace in your hand. Should you test, you will be giving your opponents permission to steal the pot from you, as you will need to fold to a bet. After you wager and an opponent calls or raises, you then must determine if they truly possess a better hand or not. In most cases they are going to have a much better side because you’ve got proven power 2 occasions and they ought to respect your hands, except you might have been wagering too loose.

You will find a few scenarios by which I will verify following the flop. They both happen when I am in the hands with an aggressive challenger and I feel I’ve the most beneficial hand. The very first is when a Queen hits on the flop giving me trips. By checking, rarely will a absolutely free card hurt me if my opponent doesn’t wager and this gives them a chance to bluff off extra chips to me. The other situation is when the flop does not have an Ace and appears ragged. My plan when this occurs is to move all in when my challenger wagers right after I check. There is danger in each of these situations, particularly the later one. Your challenger might have hit a set, by which case you will likely be drawing virtually dead. Having said that, I have discovered that the occasions they can’t beat my side far outweigh the occasions they can, so these conditions are profitable.

The key to the two of these is that you simply must be positive your challenger will take the bait and bet. Giving absolutely free cards could be harmful. I don’t do this when 2 cards of the very same suit are on the flop except I did flop a set. Once you flop a set, you have numerous outs to a full house, even towards a flush. The other thing is that these plays usually do not work incredibly well in opposition to the most beneficial competition. They will respect your side and is going to be less likely to bluff at the pot following you test until you do a wonderful job of acting weak. Immediately after showing pre flop power, this is usually difficult.
