- Raise and re-raise biggish pre-flop. - Dont slowplay as this will lead to you losing a lot of money. - Bet all streets unless 4 suited cards or 4 cards to a straight appear on the board. i.e: 369J(all hearts and you dont have a heart) or 5678, etc - Enjoy your winnings

No. In standard Poker rules one pair, of any rank, beats an unpaired hand.

Perhaps you are thinking of a situation where two people have the same pair, for example a pair of nines, and one has the ace kicker and the other a non-ace kicker. In this case the person with the ace wins, but only because they both have the same ranked pair.

Also don't get confused with Lowball, common form Razz, in which the lower valued hands win. In that case an Ace would beat a pair since a pair is a terrible hand to have.

No, 1 pair can lose to an ace high, depending on what is on the community table, for instance, if your pair is lower than the 2 pairs on the table, your opponent with an ace high will win.
