Hi,
I've found that what should be optimal in cash games might not be so true for an NLHE tournament.
For example, if I have only a medium or somewhat short stack, my implied odds on suited connectors might not be worth that much.
I also find myself occasionaly not playing KQs,AJs or JTs early in tournaments especially in early position - should I be raising with these, limping in with these, or am I right to sometimes muck these?
I know about standard hand charts which work for limit hold 'em but I'm sure there are also good guidelines for:
a) NLHE cash games (dependent on your stack size and opponent stack size)
b) NLHE tournaments
Re: suited connectors, is 98s any different really from 45s? Also how valuable is suitedness given you can easily end up drawing to a losing flush?
Is playing Axs or Kxs a good idea in either NLHE tournaments or cash? It seems Axs and Kxs don't get paid off well when they hit.
