One of the Hardest Hands to Figure Put How to Play

One of the hardest hands to figure put how to play in no limit Texas Hold em pokerare those middle pairs. And of all the middle pairs there are, I think 7-7 is the trickiest to play. With 8-8 or 9-9, I feel like you can play those hands strong without feeling too nervous. 5-5 or 6-6 if you don’t flop a set or maybe a straight draw you feel pretty good throwing in away.

But whither 7-7? It is probably the hardest pocket pair to play. If I am dealt that hand in an aerly or middle position, I might probably make a medium sized raise most of the time. It is then easier to figure out how strong your poker hand is based on how every player after you acts, whether they fold, call or re-raise.

If I am in a later position, on the button or a place or two from the button, I think most of the time I will call and try and see a cheap flop. Then you can see if you get a set, a straight draw, or some kind of favorable flop. Either way, playing a hand like 7-7 is always tricky and should be played with caution and intelligence when you play poker online.
