call only and hope for a set and make sure board is right to bet. Never push unless you have their stack covered


Even when my stack covers the person this is a really risky hand to play preflop but happy hunting this hunter ain't going to the hunt

I mostly throw when I get those cards. Although it happened to me that they brought me a lot of chips. Although it happened to me that they brought me a lot of chips. But mostly it goes like this: check,check,fold!

Certainly depends on other contributing factors but I play very cautiously with deuces. If you are at the Final Table short stacked you might should shove it all in.

Deep stacks, I'm looking for a set on the flop. Short stacked, they just get tossed in the muck.

I play pocket deuces cautiously hoping for three of a kind knowing they don’t stand a chance at winning the hand.

Hello, I think that most situations will not be favorable to play 22, since they have very little connectivity and almost always go behind other couples. It can also be given that in their 12.5% ​​who connect sets may be behind better games. In short, I would not play them unless the investment to see the flop is minimal and very profitable.

With my fnigers crossed..

With position, play 22 fairly stout, if the rest of the table is passive. If nothing comes up on the flop, hang in as long as it is reasonable risk/reward. A lot of times, you have to press the eject button before the river when playing 22.

If in position, I'll raise any pair late in a tourney. Cash game, I'm limping.

Sometimes a set is formed, but the chance of this is not great. I play the blind and watch the board, if there is a set, then I think about how to play next.

I try to see the flop as cheaply as possible, or play it there with less than 12cg in turbo and less than 10cg in normals.

If I have 70+ blinds, I can easily open a pocket deuces, even push the flop. But if there are about 20 blinds, I throw all-in and win.

:cool: I usually always play it passively in final position, I try to hit or see the flop to see if I hit the three of a kind, in initial position I try to play it aggressive if possible, of course not all the time it is recommended, this is done When the player has enough experience, an amateur player should not make this type of moves, I continue and follow, with a bet below, if they call we must go with caution on the turn.

If you lose, don't bother, understand that you gave your best ...

I set-mine basically, trying to see the flop as cheaply as possible. However, if it folds to me, I open-raise. My post-flop actions then depend on many different factors.

I try to limp or invest a minimum, and if I don't hit the flop, I fold
