Though there may be no argument that QQ is one of the most powerful beginning hands in no limit Texas hold em, it also may be challenging to bet on correctly. The trademark of a very good player is one who can win huge pots though losing small ones. What this means is the fact that the perfect gamblers minimize their losses once they do lose a hand and maximize their profit once they win. QQ is one of the starting arms that separate the winning players and the losing ones.

When you will be initial to act or the first player who has not limped into the pot, you must raise most of the time. You will discover 2 reasons for this. The first is you don’t want anyone to see the flop for inexpensive, in particular fingers with an Ace and modest kicker. The second reason is which you need to do every thing you can to come across the strength of your opponents hands. By raising, if one of one’s opponents re-raises and/or moves all in, you may possess a difficult determination to produce, but you may be able to obtain away from the hands should you believe your challenger has Ace, Ace or KK. This is the absolute worst position to be in. In addition, QQ plays ideal in opposition to one or 2 opponents. You ought to maintain all of your respective pre flop raises roughly the exact same to not give away the power of the side, usually three or four instances the big blind.

Playing Queen, Queen immediately after the flop is usually straightforward. If you have proven energy by raising pre flop, continue to show energy until one within your opponents convinces you that they have a far better hand. This includes when an Ace hits on the flop. You must bet to represent an Ace in your hand. If you test, you’re giving your opponents permission to steal the pot from you, as you will need to fold to a bet. When you bet and an opponent calls or raises, you then must choose if they actually have a better hands or not. In most cases they will possess a superior palm because you may have shown energy two occasions and they ought to respect your side, unless of course you’ve been wagering too loose.

There are a few scenarios by which I will test following the flop. They each occur when I am in the palm with an aggressive challenger and I feel I’ve the most effective hand. The first is when a Queen hits to the flop giving me trips. By checking, rarely will a no cost card hurt me if my challenger does not bet and this gives them a chance to bluff off far more chips to me. The other situation is when the flop does not have an Ace and appears ragged. My plan when this occurs is to move all in when my challenger wagers soon after I check. There is danger in the two of these situations, specifically the later one. Your opponent might have hit a set, by which case you might be drawing virtually dead. Having said that, I’ve discovered that the times they can’t beat my side far outweigh the instances they can, so these situations are profitable.

The key to both of these is that you must be sure your opponent will take the bait and bet. Giving free cards might be harmful. I do not do this when 2 cards of the exact same suit are to the flop unless of course I did flop a set. Whenever you flop a set, you’ve numerous outs to a full house, even in opposition to a flush. The other thing is that these plays don’t work extremely well against the best competition. They’ll respect your side and will probably be less likely to bluff at the pot soon after you check unless you do a excellent job of acting weak. After showing pre flop energy, this is typically difficult.
