What we should do with pocket 2-9

[SD Shipu]

It's always a little relief when we get pocket hole cards. Basically we go with flow when pocket 10-Queens are hole cards. And most popular choice for A-K are all in. What about rest?

In poker with 2-9 hole cards, it is usually recommended to fold these cards preflop, especially if the game is played using a standard strategy. They are considered weak cards and have little chance of improvement once the community cards are dealt to the table. However, in a particular situation, much may depend on the position, bet size, opponents' playing style and other factors. Therefore, it is important to analyze the context and make a decision based on your knowledge and intuition.

Play 29 as if you are playing Aces fake it until you make it 😁
Jokes apart you should fold your 29 without a doubt don’t get into trouble with weak hands such as 29,27,28.
However if you want to play those it’s your choice ,
Stay loose play seven deuce😁

There are lots of variables in poker so no one can give you a one size fits all answer. It depends on
Stack sizes
Position
Action in front of you
Who's left to act
Payout considerations (if a tournament)
Etc

And this is just preflop then you will need to make postflop decisions.

Also note 99 is alot stronger than 22

Pair is always nice to play, specially short stack. I like it.

Of course, there are different tournaments, different situations, different opponents, but I personally never play with such junk. The online game is very fast and dynamic, so playing with such garbage just doesn't make sense

Double down

 

[Goggelheimer]

Well if you are in BB and all others folded except SB that filled up. Watch the flop and if the board is 992, or 999, or 222 you will have an interesting game, check and watch the SB moves carefully.

In 99 % of cases this hand goes into the muck, imo.

All other moves in all other positions are pure luckgambling
(tournament situations are an exception (but still extreme luckgambling), with some options depending on your stacksize)

Fold it as soon as you can, doesnt matter the position or whatever else

 

[juan1579]

These cards must definitely be dropped before the flop, I never play such cards.

Depending on the opponents at the table and the depth of the stacks, I try to see the flop for the minimum price, usually it’s a minraise (although GTO says that it’s even profitable to call 3-bet, at a distance this action will be “plus” with absolutely all pockets except 22) and then everything is simple - whether you hit a set or not (with the rare exception of a straight draw).

all in hand 100% this is a very good card flop coming 9 9 2

where there is faith in one's own powers and poker gods

 

[JetmirDulja]

Adjust your play ... dont do everytime the same thing .... its gives you more options.

 

[Rahatis]

All in always. We are talking for play money right?

 

[ga25x]

Depends you playing cash or MTT. For example any poket pair in MTT, if you 10 bb or less is an auto shove preflop for me.

 

[Tomash7788]

It is fold unless you can limp in. Well naturally if there is only 2 ppl at the table this hand looks much better then

 

[DiegoRamos]

Is it a joke?
If you don't know, you're in the wrong game.

 

[Stringy]

fold unless limping or if there's only one other person

 

[antonis32123]

It depends . You are talking for freerolls or normal buy on games . In freerolls , nowadays , I would call or play ATC , even 72o ....

 

[airxlns]

There is no real reason to play this hand unless you get to see a cheap flop, but even then the odds are against you.

 

[ROYALROAD]

It all depends on the local situation. There is no such thing as folding everything.

 

[edenman1]

I would fold the 29

 

[jonasz warzecha]

Enter the pot only form BB when pot odds are welcoming

 

[infonazar]

It all depends on your goals. If your goal is to have fun, any hand starting with 7,2 will do. If your goal is a result, then it is better not to play with junk like 9,2.
