How to go about these hands
I range medium fromm 77-JJ
If in ring game in middle position with limper/s infront
and 3-4 players yet to act. I have tried to play these hands making 4-7 times bb raises( with variation, but as a general) ofcourse dependent upon how well I feel I understand the limpers, hoping to fold A-q to A-9 s or worse, ready to fold to any reraise of substance( again dependent upon my understanding and pattern of raiser) Possibly also driving out low connectors s or os. The issue is then the pressure one builds on one self. If callers one has to assume wired pockets within the same range as one self or a-x high, if several callers one is possibly against at least a-x, pair, and/or flush/str8 draws. If in position I feel most flopps are ok to figure dependent upon the action , but if first to act problems arise unless hitting the set and not many overcards giving the opponent a possible better set. Then if not many overcards the suspicion of a str8 draw arises and even a hit.The problem is almost any connectors, a`s or flush possabilities makes a scary board when out of position with these hands. Quit playing these hands from middle position,raise or limp???
