In Texas Hold’em, “low cards” usually refer to small pairs (2-2 to 6-6) or suited connectors (e.g., 5-4s, 7-6s). The key to playing low cards profitably is aggressiveness and position.

The best short stack poker strategy is to play tight preflop, fold all speculative hands like suited connectors and suited aces, bet small postflop with both your bluffs and your value hands, play your draws fast and use the squeeze play often.

Trips (three of a kind using one hole card and two on the board) is a strong, premium made hand that beats two pair and one pair.
