KINGS AND QUEENS IN NO LIMIT HOLD-EM

i am opening this one up for discussion. these two hands are very, very pretty and very, very vunerable in the smaller no limit games, in particular the 2-3 hundred dollar buy-ins and and 1-2 blind structure that are very common because people in these games will call a medium sized raise with ace anything and will sometimes call with suited medium connectors. if you raise a considerable amount, say twenty dollars one of two things will happen, everyone will fold or you will get reraised by aces and have to lay it down. most likely you will collect the blinds and any limpers 2 dollars each for a profit of 5 dollars, (s.b., bb and one limper) and you risked 20 to do it.

there is also the situation where there has been a raise prior to you and it was in the 15 dollar range, which is fairly high; now what do you do? in limit, it is no-brainer, reraise! ah, but no limit is different. there are much fewer no-brainers. incidently, i cold call raises with queens or jacks and reraise with kings. the jacks and queens become invisible that way if you happen to flop a set. they also become harder to play on the flop if no overcard is out there.

anyway, how do you play these. i am going to go to one of the poker chat rooms and throw that question out. i find these two pairs the hardest to play properly. they are hard to lay down unless an ace is on the board.
