Calling With Middle Pair

Author: Texas Holdem

Hi there!

I would just like to ask something. Do you know when one should call with middle pair? Well for a number of times, I’ve seen players win with middle pairs not improved and middle pair which improves to two pairs. Should I consider outs and pot odds here?

Please help me. Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Alastair,

Pot odds should definitely be considered when calling with middle pair, but also the type of player you are playing. I am folding middle pair to a tight play, I am probably calling down against a loose or weak player.
