Are these the only hands you guys play?

Thank you

Well, there was this hand:

Live 2/4, 9-handed

Reads: CO and MP1 are LAGs, rest of the table is weak-tight.

Preflop: Hero is button with T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, <font color="red"> MP1 raises </font>, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls, Hero folds

How's that?

temporarily short handed

MP1 is loose, not always aggressive enough, and occasionally makes terrible bets/raises/calls without much reason. UTG is tight, reasonable, but has a loose table image after intentionally playing a few that way early. Not aggressive enough post-flop, but everyone else at this table is a huge LAG.

I'm dealt QJo in the sb. UTG calls, MP1 calls, folded to me, I raise .50 to $1, BB folds, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

3 to the flop for $3.50 (7sb)

flop comes T93 rainbow

SB bets $1, UTG calls, MP1 raises to $2, SB calls, UTG calls.

3 to the turn for $9.50

Turn is an A, puts some sorta 2 flush on board.

SB checks, UTG checks, MP1 bets $2, SB calls, UTG folds.

2 to the river for $13.50

river J, no flush possibilities

SB check, MP1 bets $2, SB calls.

i hate drunken spread limit home games... well, except for the drunkenness part. and the poker part, they're kinda a breeze. but they typically don't offer any worth while hands to repeat :-)
