Default Re: 11 Hands for the Bull (and CJ)

(4-4) 4

I would raise unless I thought it likely that I would win only the antes by doing so. If I am the bring-in with this hand, I limp in and hope to re-raise.

(A-A) 10 rainbow

Raise, pretty much every time.

(10-A) A rainbow

Raise, pretty much every time. I will occasionally limp with Aces if seventeen people have limped in front of me, especially if my hand is not completely live.

(A-K) Q suited

Raise most of the time assuming my hand is reasonably live.

(A-K) Q rainbow

Raise if that will get me heads-up with, say, a smaller pair. Call most of the time otherwise.

(10-7) 3 suited

Limp if my hand is reasonably live. Call for one full bet, but usually not two, unless my hand is completely live and I know it's only going to be the two bets. Better not to get involved even then.

(6-6) 8 2-suited

Limp in for the bring-in. Maybe call a full bet if the raiser has a dead door card and my hand is extremely live.

(8-6) 6 2-suited

Limp in for the bring-in.

(7-J) J rainbow

Raise if it will thin the field substantially. Limp if not.

(6-7) 8 2-suited

Limp. Probably call a full bet but not like it.

(6-7) 9 2- suited

Limp only if 8s are completely live and other straight cards are pretty live too.
