Overplaying big pocket pairs.

This was a huge leak of mine. Overplayed KK and QQ too much. Example: if you raise big PF w/ these

I agree with you Teddie, I should have stated that better. What I meant by big was that PF raises typically are between 2.5 to 5 times the BB (and should be +1 per limper). So I'm assuming that big pocket pairs are being raised 'big' or at least 4BB + 1/limper.

Of couse if you raise less than this, such as 2.5-3BB, you are going to be called by more than just premium hands. If you do raise more than this as you should with a high PP you have to watch out for the scenario I discribed more often when you do get callers.

My main point is to not get too attached to these hands post flop so much that you willing to risk your stack on one pair when your reads should tell you you're beat. A lot of begginers tend to get attached to a hand that 'should win.'
