Whilst there’s no argument that Queen, Queen is one of the most powerful beginning fingers in no limit Texas holdem, it also is usually challenging to play correctly. The trademark of a good gambler is one who can win large pots though losing little ones. What this means is that the perfect players minimize their losses when they do lose a hand and maximize their profit when they win. Queen, Queen is one of the starting arms that separate the winning gamblers and the losing ones.

When you might be initial to act or the very first player who hasn’t limped into the pot, you ought to raise most of the time. You will find two reasons for this. The first is you do not want anyone to see the flop for affordable, particularly palms with an Ace and small kicker. The 2nd reason is that you simply have to do everything it is possible to to find the power within your opponents hands. By raising, if one of your opponents re-raises and/or moves all in, you may possess a difficult choice to make, but you might be able to have away from the palm when you believe your challenger has AA or KK. This is the absolute worst position to be in. In addition, QQ plays very best in opposition to one or two opponents. You should keep all of your pre flop raises roughly the very same to not give away the strength of one’s hand, usually three or four periods the major blind.

Playing QQ soon after the flop is usually straightforward. If you’ve got proven power by raising pre flop, continue to show power until one of the 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. If you examine, you’re giving your opponents permission to steal the pot from you, as you might need to fold to a bet. Once you bet and an challenger calls or raises, you then must decide if they truly have a much better hands or not. In most cases they are going to possess a far better hands because you’ve got shown power two instances and they need to respect your palm, unless of course you have been wagering too loose.

You will find a few predicaments in which I will examine right after the flop. They each occur when I am in the hands with an aggressive challenger and I feel I’ve the most effective hand. The initial is when a Queen hits on the flop giving me trips. By checking, rarely will a free of cost card hurt me if my challenger does not wager and this gives them a chance to bluff off more chips to me. The other situation is when the flop doesn’t have an Ace and appears ragged. My plan when this happens would be to move all in when my opponent wagers after I check. There is danger in each of these situations, specially the later one. Your opponent may possibly have hit a set, in which case you might be drawing practically dead. Nevertheless, I’ve found that the periods they can’t beat my palm far outweigh the instances they can, so these circumstances are profitable.

The key to the two of these is that you must be positive your opponent will take the bait and bet. Giving absolutely free cards can be harmful. I usually do not do this when 2 cards of the very same suit are on the flop until I did flop a set. If you flop a set, you have quite a few outs to a full house, even against a flush. The other thing is always that these plays tend not to work quite well in opposition to the most effective competition. They will respect your hand and will probably be less likely to bluff at the pot following you examine except you do a excellent job of acting weak. Following showing pre flop energy, this is often difficult.
