Premium Hands in EP

[bluewilde]

I'm wondering how AA-QQ adapts to be played on a tight table from EP. I think a hand like AK is always a clear raise, otherwise you're basically slowplaying high card A. But I just got QQ on lvl 2 and, knowing that this was a very tight table, I raised 3BB from UTG and it was folded around like I figured. I don't really mind just getting the blinds with QQ, it can get tricky post-flop depending on the board, or preflop if it's pushed behind me. But AA/KK, I want to get some action on these hands. I don't like limping though...any advice.

Raise other hands in EP and maybe you'll get action? This doesn't really apply to SnGs, just cash games.

A tight table is a tight table. Pick up the blinds, and go about it more often. Then proceed to out play them on the bubble.

Accept the fact that you need a little luck to get action with your big hands.
