Re: Not raising Big pairs PF
fishyak, I understand what you're saying and I have some of the same problems when I raise UTG. However, I also will pick up one or two callers with 85s and QJo. Always. They WANT to play a hand. They are less concerned with losing to a better hand than they are not winning with something they are sure is a winner, or could be a winner, or that might be a winner because it's obvious you're bluffing, etc.
Sat night at the Venetian, I did everything but turn over AA from the BB and still got a guy suck out on me with KJ on the river. He was probably the only one at the table that didn't know I had AA. An hour later, I had my chips back and then some.
