Just a fun little hand. Besides folding PF what do you think? (I accidentally misclicked while watching tv when I though I had 98s :P)

PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG+1 ($54.25)
MP1 ($24.75)
MP2 ($31.55)
CO ($25)
Button ($23.05)
SB ($24.55)
BB ($4.75)
UTG ($5.60)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.25, MP1 calls $0.25, Ruso329 calls $0.25, CO checks, Button calls $0.25, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($2.25) 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets $1</font>, MP1 calls $1, <font color="#CC3333">Ruso329 raises to $4</font>, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 calls $3, MP1 calls $3.

Turn: ($14.25) Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets $3</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Ruso329 raises to $10</font>, UTG+1 folds.

IMO, preflop actions rank as follows:
raise&gt;call&gt;fold

I really can't see folding this ever unless given a very good reason to do so given conditions.

Right now I don't raise medium suited connectors (which is what I thought I had), because at the levels I play the players are less likely to notice I only raise with big hands. Only if I'm being perceived as a rock will I start raising with these hands.

Do you see why?






Please enlighten me.

With SC's I normally play them the same was PF as I would AJs. That is; fold from EP, limp in MP if limped before, raise if folded to.

SC's and S1G's and S2G's.

This good or bad?

I'm talkin about the 100xBB stacks at PS

I call SC above 45 from any position, and I will call PF raises of 2x-3x BB with position on the raiser with any SC (unless one of us is down to abou 20x BB).

Basically up to 10% of the smaller stack, with position, and limp with any. I raise some SC on the button, and some S1G as well from time to time, my range is 78s+ and 8-10s+ (but I don't always raise those).

you have a good amount of limping and a good amount of money in the pot right now. there is a poster with 1BB sitting there begging to be stolen. a raise will

- get you the button for a hand likely to flop position-needing draws
- get you the chance to take free cards on those likely draws as people will check to you
- get the chance to instantly win a pot worth much more than 69s is worth limping in long term.
- get you paid big when you hit
