Default Re: Draw Comments Can Go Here

Low two pair, in this case, is 8's up or worse. I usually fold 9's up and often ten's up. It just gets you into too much trouble.

I isually treat 10's up or less as low two pair. This works because if your opponent makes 2 pair you'll still be ahead some of the time... this is because they'r emostly not open raising with less than Jacks. Therefore, if I'm going to play, I'd like to play with someone that jacks cannot easily out draw.

It is kind of similar to playing QQ in late position against limpers. 1 limper I fold QQ (usually) 1 limper I raised KK (in general). Queens become a drawing hand with a lot of people in the pot and drop in value even if you're ahead before the draw. If you don't improve and there are 3 opponents with pairs drawing 3 then you're not in a good situtuation. That's even true with something like 5577x
