View Full Version : Hands to defend BB with depending on who raised. (6-max)

When I am in the BB and there is a raise and folded to me; I will play the following hands depending on who raised.

Rock (5%) 55 AJs KQs QJs T9s AQ (8.1%)
Tight (10%) 22 A2s K8s Q9s 98s T8s AT KT QT JT (22.5%)
Loose (20%) 22 A2s K2s Q8s 65s 75s J8s A2 K9 Q9 T9 (37.6%)
Steal (30%) 22 A2s K2s Q7s 43s 53s T7s A2 K8 Q8 98 (44.5%)

So if someone raises with only 5% of his hands in this situation I will play very tightly (only 8.1% of my hands).
If I am against an aggressive player who is in steal position who raises with approximately 30% of his hands I will play about 44% of my hands.

I will re-raise with my better hands, the % will depend on who the raiser is. I guess I will re-raise with about 15% of my hands against a steal raise (about 1/3 of the hands I will defend with).


So my questions are:
Are these hands reasonable?
Do I adjust my hands enough for who the raiser is? (Too much?)
If the SB also calls, how much tighter must I play against a steal raise? (Assuming the SB is a slightly loose passive player.)

Never fold a wired pair in the BB for 1 more bet. 55=22 against a rock.

Thanks for the reply.
Guess I should add those hands, what about the hands against other player types?

I wonder if the lack of responses means that the hands are basically ok... or that the question is really really boring and nobody cares /images/graemlins/smile.gif

i dont like small suited hands in any of your scenarios - the rest seem ok to me but i defend a bit more against a tight raiser

I guess I should play 87s and 97s but throw away the smaller?
