It looked like there was going to be a new champion crowed during the 2006 World Poker Tour Ladies Event, and it might have wound up to be a total newcomer to the game of televised, big dollar poker tournaments, "Poker Mom" Kelli Griggs.
A low or middle pair is one of the most frustrating hands to show up as your hole cards. Everyone knows what to do with a pair of Aces or Kings; you play them to the hilt, and bully everyone at the table into giving you money or folding. A pair of fives, sixes, or twos is a little trickier. You don’t want to fold a pair, because your one card away on the flop from a powerful three-of-a-kind, but you don’t want to invest a lot of money into a hand that could turn out to be a catastrophic loser.
