Ever wondered how to get the least value from your pocket rockets during our Floptober Fest?
Here is a simple how-to article that will explain it in detail.
The first step is to get dealt your pocket rockets (A-A in case you weren’t sure). The best possible position for this scenario is the big blind, with another player posting an initial blind, that way you were guaranteed to see the flop. And just so we are playing for more than pennies lets say the blinds are $1/$2.
For those who arent up to speed on the Floptober promotion, if you flop quads queen or higher you win 100 times the big blind. So if you have a pocket pair queens or higher, you really want to see a flop.
So back to our how-to guide. Now that you have your pocket rockets, and your opponent in the initial blind has checked over to you, its time to make a decision.
Choice A
You could simply check and go to the flop, that way ensuring your shot at a Floptober bonus of $400.
or
Choice B
You could bet out hard forcing your opponent to fold, therefore forfeiting your shot at the Floptober bonus, BUT winning a mighty $6.
I personally would go with Option A, you’ve gotta be in it to win it. Over the weekend a player went with Option B, and while I’m sure he was happy his aces held up, I’m fairly certain that the sting of passing up the Floptober bonus (yes his aces hit) is still more than a tickle.
Don’t let your opportunity pass you by, get those pocket pairs queens or higher to the flop!
