How to play set or above?
This is your aim. Hands that are the nuts or likely to finish up being the nuts by the river. You are going to make most of your money from these hands. You are looking at pocket pairs, decent sized connectors or one-gaps, and good suited cards.
Note the qualifications there –
(i) Suited cards must be good! This means either they are connected (so can win as a straight or flush), or that they drawing to the nut flush (or near) – Axs or Kxs. It is not a question of playing any two suited cards. T4 suited is a dog of a hand in any game, however loose.
(ii) Connectors must be a decent size. 23 is not a good connector because it does not have maximum possible straights and it can only be the nuts in one situation. JT by contrast can hit the maximum number of possible straights and will always be the nuts when it hits.
Obviously this does not mean that you shouldn’t play the premium hands which are so key to other strategies. You just aren’t going to play them as aggressively. AKo is still a good hand!!
