Lag button plays

[Silverback]

I was reading some "Texas Hold'em Pre-flop Strategy - Abdul" (google it)


I quote:
[ QUOTE ]
You are on the button facing a raise from one off the button from a good player with competent opponents in the blinds

then gives example:
76s Borderline reraise/fold. Your hand plays better heads up than 3-way.


[/ QUOTE ]

Anyone make this reraise play with similar suited connectors? I think this is the first time Ive seen this mentioned with suited connectors.

What influences your decision in playing this kind reraise?



While Im here, in another preflop example he mentions:

JT Borderline fold. Could call versus an even looser raise.


Anyone play these unsuited hands against a LAG if your on the button?
Do you reraise if likely blinds will fold, or do you ever cold call?
What about QT, KT, and similar?

Are these the kind of hands the 30/20 players play?
Not that I want to become one, Im just looking into using my position more, but also timing its use so its +EV

Thanks

this can't be right

if you figure a typical cut-off's steal range is something like: any broadway, any suited both 8 or higher, any suited ace, A6o+, any pair 55+, pokerstove says you will win only 36% of the time.

you are contributing half the money going into the pot from now on, but only are likely to win roughly 36%. you are loosing 28% of every dollar you put in that pot. if you contribute as litle as 6 small bets over the course of the entire hand, you cannot win often enough to even use the dead blind money as justification for your isolation raise. 6*.28 = 1.68 small bet loss which is less that the 1.5 small bet blinds you are fighting for.

now take the case of 3 players. if you give 2 oponents the same range, poker stove says you have 28% equity. here you are only contributing 1/3 of the pot. you are loosing 16% of every dollar you put in. this hand clearly plays better 3-way.
