Top Pair vs Top Pair – Domination Nation Poker

Kicker issues often get worse on every street, i.e. with every new community card. The situation described above leaves the weaker hand only a 7% shot at winning – so little that it doesn’t justify any call ww88 .

Hint: If your pair is dominated, meaning your opponent has a higher second card (=kicker), you’re in dire straits. If you’re behind you’re only going to win one out of 10 times.



4) Set vs Top Pair – Decided

Example: 4 4 vs A K on a board of A T 4 --- 2

If the turn hasn’t helped your top pair hand the hand is already over. There is no way to overtake the set on the river w88 casino .

Note that in the example above another ace on the board would give the player with pocket fours a full house.

Hint: With a set you’re dominating the hand on the turn. On the other side of the table, against a set you’re lost.

5) Set vs Flush Draw or Straight Draw – Almost Unstoppable

Example: 4 4 vs A K on a board of 4 9 7 2

If you’re playing a draw and you don’t hit the turn your chances are down to 16%.

However you might not notice it as your overcards look like outs, too.

Hint: Overcards can bedeceptive as you lose even if you hit one of them. These can't be considered “full” outs w88 line .

6) Set vs Combo Draw – Call

Example: 4 4 vs J T on a board of 9 8 4 --- 2

If you’re playing a draw that's both a flush and a straight draw, and it doesn’t fill up on the turn, you’re down to 30%.

However this is usually enough to call as you can win even more money on the river if you still hit. In this example there is also a straight flush draw added.

Hint: With such a strong draw as this you should always try to get to the river. This kind of hand has too many outs to be folded.
