what is it? and by big pairs, i mean QQ, KK, or AA
it seems inevitable that if i get one of these hands, two things allways happens.
1. i limp in, hoping that someone will raise, but they never do. i always end up with about 5 callers and the board comes with three to a straight and flush, or overcards.
2. if i raise, it almost always gets folded around to me. i usually raise 3x. i don't want to raise any less because i don't want to give away the strength of my hand.
anyway, what's the best way to play these?
