The Way to Play King-Queen
The strength of the K-Q depends to a large extent
on the quality of the other poker players you are
playing with at any particular time. The more the
poker players tend towards the maniac end of the scale,
the stronger the K-Q is. If however you are sitting
with strong players and there is a raise from early-middle
position, this is not the best hand to get your custom
poker chips in with.
If you sit in the middle-late poker positions, it
is often a good idea to raise customized poker chips
if there have been no raises of custom poker chips
thus far. If you get re-raised, you should on balance
merely call (this should be an easier decision if
the K-Q is suited). The rule of thumb is that if there
has been one raise behind you from a later position,
you should call the raise with your custom poker chips.
If the raise comes from a very early position, you
should muck the hand and save those valuable custom
poker chips for another poker hand (unless the guy
is a poker maniac and has been thrashing around his
custom poker chips recklessly all night!). Another
minor exception to this is that if you are sitting
in the blinds, you know no other poker player can
raise custom poker chips behind you so calling a raise,
even from the earliest of positions at the poker table,
is a wise move.
If you have decided to limp in with the minimum amount
of custom poker chips and another poker player raises
you, it is probably worth calling the single raise.
You must pull out immediately if an ace hits the flop
as gambling custom poker chips with overcards in sight
is not a good plan. Remember, even if you hit two
pairs on the fop, if there is an ace in sight or if
the cards are bunched together at the top end of the
scale, your custom poker chips are not safe in this
pot as there are potential straights or even better
two pairs than yours! Remember, if you hit top pair
and the flop is pretty low otherwise, you must bet
this hand. Never check and hope to somehow trap your
opponents on the turn or the river. All you are doing
by not betting custom poker chips is giving your opponents
a free card and putting your custom poker chip stack
in jeopardy. |
