Those are also known as pocket rockets, pocket dynamite, or just plain ol’ pocket pairs.

Pocket pairs, they're like having a fistful of dynamite in your hands. Make the right play, and BAM, you're lighting up the pot. But play 'em wrong, those same cards might just blow up in your face.

Pairs like 22, 33, 44, 55 and 66, those are your bread and butter pocket pairs. Solid, dependable hands that'll get the action going and either win you a pot or lose you your shirt.

The higher pairs, 88, 99, TT, those are your premium pockAholeets. Like a well-aged fine wine, they get better with age. But they're pricier too. You gotta make sure the pot and action warrant playing such a premium pair.

As for the single digit pairs, 22-55, they're like an old trusted friend. Familiar, fearless and formidable. You know them inside and out, upside down. And in poker, familiarity breeds content.

So that's the low down on pocket pairs, from the bread and butter to the premium. Pocket rockets are always dynamite at the table. When you're holding a pair, even pocket ones, the world had better look out!
