Lammy and Middle Pairs (77 - TT)

Middle pairs are excellent for coming in for a raise when nobody else has entered the pot. But be careful at a loose or aggressive table in the earlier positions.

When an active player has raised the pot and nobody else has called they're good re-raising hands. When a tight player has raised you should play them more carefully - use them as if they were a small pair.

If someone has raised and somebody else has re-raised they are NOT playable. The best you can hope for is a coin-flip.

They are also good to use as an all-in hand when you have a short stack (less than 20 BB) when somebody has come for a raise.

If you come to the flop a good rule of thumb is if the sum of the number of overcards on the flop and the number of opponents is 4 or more your hand is definitely no good. An ace counts as 2 in this case. Example: you have 99 and the flop brings KQ7 and there are 2 opponents. So 2 overcards and 2 opponents means your hand is no good.

Your ultimate goal if you come to the flop is to hit a set. If you do that, play it aggressively, especially if there is an ace on the board. This way you can make a lot of money.
