Definitely fold preflop. Personally I only play AA KK and AK, but wont raise AK.

deaders: you cant be serious....

OP: the best strat is to flop a set, it works pretty well, you should try it.

Except you must probably fold bottom set, or top set on monontone flops against the preflop raiser.

Lol

I should have just phrased the original post as "Take the piss out of me"

In all seriousness though, I suck with them

More info please OP. How are you currently playing these hands? Are you raising any position? Only calling if you have multiple callers in front? Say you have 10s and the flop comes Q73 rainbow, how do you usually act?

Ok

Normally, I'll raise a standard amount (4xBB, plus 1xBB for every limper), and then i'll typically have 2+ callers.

However, I have problems regarding what to do if another player has already made this sort of raise and I'm either LP or in the blinds, do I call or re-raise here?

If the flop is horrible, I immediately give up the hand with that many callers (e.g. AJJ), but if only one overcard comes (like in your example), I'll proceed cautiously, and will probably fold under any real pressure/shut down on the turn if my flop bet is called usually.

I really have problesm with these situations though:

e.g. UTG+1 raises 5xBB, I call in the BB with 1010, I am reguklarly clueless on the flop. This is a huge hole in my game, and I wa sjust wondering if anyone could help me?
