How to play overpair in Texas Hold’em

Posted by Chandan Pandey On April - 16 - 2010

To have a high pocket pair in Texas card game usually means a profit.

But the case that the flop is the right so that there are some cards on the flop that can give opponents a higher pair, and the more cards on the flop, which is higher than one’s pocket, the greater the risk that you are beaten.

But let us assume that the pair you have is higher than any card on the flop, how should you play risk free? There really is no “right answer” but below you can read about some things, depending on the situation, you can think of to play risk free.

Fixed Limit

In limit holdem, you should almost always bet, partly to protect his hand against the buyout on later streets, and partly to take charge of opponents. If you’re in early position and face a few opponents and the table does not look dangerous out, ie, contains both color and straight draw, or three cards of the same color, it may be worthwhile to use a check-raise in order to maximize their profits.

However, if you are in late position, you should bet if no one else has done it, or rise if someone has already invested. Be careful if you encounter many enemies, then it might be better not to increase, but only call for the fixed limit, it is difficult to remove people who have already agreed to a bet with a raise and you may also already be beaten but unless it is lost in Omaha card games, no increase can call with overpair if it is just a bit play risk free.

Are you sitting in the middle position and someone in early position bet in Omaha card games, you rise to thin out the underlying field?

In no limit, it is more difficult than the limit due to a mistake might well cost one all the chips you have in front. Therefore it is important to both position, how high is even overpair, and number of opponents who are in the pot. For example, a pair of nines and sitting in early position and you meets an opponent you can, unless it has been substantially raised preflop, bet a lot of driving out the enemy.

Has the other hand, has been a substantial raise before the flop, you should be cautious and ask the question: “My opponent has a higher pair on hand, or he has just two big cards”? If you believe that he has two high cards, such as AK, should absolutely go, some pot, to expel him.

Think he has a higher pocket in Omaha card games; you should slow down and maybe even give up the pot. Regardless, sit ill at illustrating the importance of position in no limit hold’em. In any case, should have raised pre-flop to reduce the field.

Big pairs like AA, KK or QQ

Do you have a high pair in Omaha card games, however, AA, KK or QQ, against an opponent can run properly on any flop and you should with these hands have rose, or counter elevated significantly before the flop to thin out the field and meet the other premium hands. Usually it is therefore aggressiveness that apply in no limit Texas card game, but if the table is dangerous, you should be even more cautious in no limit, especially if you face more opponents, and if you then still decide to continue in the pot should invest heavily in not to give opponents odds to continue with drawing hands.

However, one can play risk free give up the pot on the table contains three cards of the same color or in sequence (especially if it is between three high cards 9TJ) and you face three opponents or more, and you have raised pre flop. The risk that someone will have already bought out one is pretty big.

So play overpair aggressively, both before and after the flop but was ready to give up the pots in no limit if you run into stiff opposition from several opponents in Texas card game.
