Don’t get attached to pocket cowboys
The second best hand you can be dealt in Texas Hold’em is two kings. But pocket cowboys can be a scary proposition that can cost you a lot of money when they don’t hold up. The trick to playing kings is to not fall in love with them.When you’re dealt kings, you’re going to play them. The only question is how. The standard answer is to bet them as you would any other strong hand — come in for a moderate raise, say, three times the size of the big blind.Some believe you should make a larger raise
