Why does Doyle think these hands are trouble?


"It's extremely hard to win a big pot with these hands (offsuited) when you've called a raise. They're definitely trouble hands. You're much more likely to lose a big pot with them than you are to win a big pot with them. Even when I make a Pair with them on the Flop...I play them extremely cautiously--or about the same way I'd play when I had a Pair of Aces or Kings in the pocket."


"The important point to remember about the trouble hands is when you do get a Flop to them you don't want to get heavily involved. You should just try to play the pot as cheaply as possible."
