If you have AA and there was a raise before you, you re-raised and the contender has called, you should go all-in on any flop. The same goes for KK when there is no ace on the flop or JQ together (in this case the game depends on the aggressiveness and adequacy of the opponent).
Strong pairs JJ and QQ:
Raised pot:
Play aggressively on the flop when there are no over cards. Bet approximately the pot size. If there has been a raise, you should re-raise and bet the sum of the bank in the center of the table and doubled the bet of your opponent. You should begin to bet about that size on a regular basis. If a re-raise is mentioned, it means the bet of approximately this size. If the contender is re-raising after this, you should fold if you are not familiar with your contender’s style, unless he is not a short-stacker (up to 70BB). You should play on his whole stack.
Re-raised pot:
Play carefully if there have been re-raises in the pot. It is not very important who has made the re-raise first: you or your opponent. Strong contenders will not re-raise if they have КК or АА, in order to keep their hand a secret. Don’t bet all-in against contenders you’re not very familiar with, even if there are no over cards on the board. You should fold if you face an aggressive attack. Also, play carefully on the flop when you have not been able to complete a set even if there are no over cards on the board. In a good position, you should call and see what the opponent will do later. Fold if the opponent is continuing his attack. It’s best to bet and fold if you are in a bad position and there has been a re-raise.
Medium pairs 77-ТТ:
You will often get into the game with a raise if you have cards like these. If these hands have not been improved, they are only good to take the pot on the flop. Bet the size of the pot on the flop against any number of opponents if there are no over cards on the board. If there is at least one over card on the flop and you are playing against two or more contenders, you should check-fold.
Low pairs 22-66:
It’s best to call in most cases with these cards in hopes of hitting a set on the flop. You will rarely see a flop with no over cards in this situation. So, the best advice here is to play check-fold on the flop if your hand has not improved. A game with various combinations.
Monster Hands:
Full house and higher:
You should play slowly on the flop with such a strong hand. If there are two cards of the same suit on the board, bet half the pot in hopes of your contenders drawing a flush. Don’t let them hitting a free flush. A big bet gives you an opportunity to get some money from your opponents when they have unfinished combinations and, it also binds them to the pot. If your opponent hits the flush, he will lose the whole stack for sure. But, he will likely play more carefully if he sees a pair on the board and is not bound to the pot. Straight.
