Low cards in Texas hold'em are commonly more difficult hands to play, even though you hold a pair because you often have to double them after the flop. No-one likes to double, but every once in a while hands with potential like this can win goliath pots because your contestant will commonly not have any guesstimate of what you're holding.

Now keep in mind here is that Texas hold'em is a betting game, and knowledgable players tend to play hands that allow them to speculate on their strength alone. That broadly speaking means face cards and strong aces. In that sense most of the hands you play holding lower pairs and connectors are going to be losers. The idea however is to keep the pots little and see a cheap flop.

You can make these hands worthwhile long-term, and that typically means one of, mixing of position, adversary profiling, and pot size. When you play these hands in position you are less certain to be re-raised pre-flop, granting you to see the flop for cut-rate. You want to be in a position to do this to keep your entry prices minimum, while still keeping your win potential far higher.

There's also a good reason to play such hands against players who tend to make over gambles after the flop. Often times their aggression factor, and the amount of cash they're prepared to risk a single play may result in a deep pot by the virtue of their ignorance of the flop chemistry. This happens all of the time in poker, and 1 or 2 hands like this during the full session will advance your bankroll. You have to identify that special eventuality where somebody is likely to make the wrong play.

Pot size can be an inducement when calling in late position a multi-way pot. When holding cards with potential against multiple opponents, you are going to have an easier call after the flop in regards to what to do, and if you get a big draw or a set, you could be able to keep numerous players in the pot to pay you off massive. You'll usually make much more money playing these hands in multiplayer pots, and when the flop is truly great for you, a double or triple up is common.

So while playing weaker hands, you should usually be hunting for implied chances spots where the potential for winning a big hand is huge, although your hand is considered weak.
