Happy new year, everyone.
One thing I have really tried to do lately is stay out of marginal situations in bad position, but now I am wondering if I have taken it too far. Here are two categories of hands -- I need to know whether I should keep folding them preflop:
(1) In the small blind, you have a suited 3-4 gapper like 710s or J7s, there's no raise but little volume -- say 1-2 limpers who are loose/weak.
(2) In the big blind, you have 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5 or 6-6 and there's a raise from a loose aggressive player from middle position (say 3 or 4 off the button). All fold to you.
I know this isn't that interesting but I think this is still where a lot of the tough money is won and lost, at least for me. So I am interested in what the posters think....
thanks SW
