It's a NL Hold'em heads-Up tourney .
You know nothing about your opponent, have no read on his hand and it's Level I : 50/100 .
You both have 5.000 in chips. You are in the SB and it's hand number one.
<font color="red"> Which hands do you make a standard raise with?
Which hands do you steal raise with a portion of the time?
Which hands do you raise with beacouse you want to convey an image you want to use on later rounds?

[A/images/graemlins/heart.gif 2/images/graemlins/club.gif]
[K/images/graemlins/heart.gif 2/images/graemlins/club.gif]
[Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif] and [Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/club.gif]
[J/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif] and [J/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/club.gif]
[T/images/graemlins/heart.gif 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif] and [T/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/club.gif]
[9/images/graemlins/heart.gif 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif]
[8/images/graemlins/heart.gif 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif]
[7/images/graemlins/heart.gif 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif]
[6/images/graemlins/heart.gif 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif]
[2/images/graemlins/heart.gif 2/images/graemlins/club.gif]

So I raise
with any ace, king or pocket pair
if both my cards are nine or better
with some low suited connectors ([T/images/graemlins/heart.gif 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif], [9/images/graemlins/heart.gif 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif], [8/images/graemlins/heart.gif 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif], [7/images/graemlins/heart.gif 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif] and [6/images/graemlins/heart.gif 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif])
I almost never slowplay.

Please post insults and help /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Neither an insult, nor help but... about once every other day somebody posts a NL question in this forum and almost never gets a response. Its because this forum is almost totally read by limit players. I hope we don't appear rude to you NL guys, but you'll get much more discussion in either the NL or tournament forums. Good Luck!
