Two Theoretical Questions

[snowgurts]

(1) If you're at a 10-handed, loose, aggressive cash game, and you have to pick one hand to get continuously, what would it be? Also, as a stipulation, everyone at the table knows your choice and knows what you hold.

(2) Would you rather, at the same 10-handed, loose, aggressive table, have a pocket pair (2's through Aces) every hand or a non-pocket pair every hand? Your opponents don't know about this one.

LAG game, I want pocket pairs b/c I can shut out a lot of pots like this. loose/passive and we'll starting talking drawing hands.

Anyone who answers anything but AA to the first question isn't thinking very clearly.

The answer to the second question is equally clear cut.

on one hand, the answer to 1 is clear. they know your cards, but you'll get the nuts every hand. however, very soon nobody will be at your table. so its actually a non-profitable situation. if you had a weak hand everytime that was known, people might stay around but would hold a huge advantage over you.

case 2 actually more simple. all pairs will show profits and without even being dealt a pair you'll actually have a lot of trouble showing a profit. since your cards are hidden, you must take the pairs
