Re: Hold\'em Preflop Strategy According to Abdul
Man, I don't know if you guys are agreeing or disagreeing, or if you're talking about the same thing or different things. What's wrong with me? I'm going to read this again when I come home.

Re: Hold\'em Preflop Strategy According to Abdul
[ QUOTE ]
First, David and I were the ones to suggest in HPFAP that you are frequently better off calling with a hand like AQ when you get in from late position in a multiway pot. Your post seems to imply the opposite. [/ QUOTE ] Hi, Mason. First of all, thanks for your post. Well, I guess my English is still not perfect after living in the U.S. for 8 years, because I got the feeling that you were suggesting raising, not calling with AQ in some circumstances. You wrote, "If they are awful and come with lots of weak hands, you lose too much by not raising before the flop." I was basically commenting on this sentence. I guess maybe the words "weak hands" threw me off. I was thinking of hands like 67s to be an example of a weak hand. No? [ QUOTE ] Second, you seem to be saying that even though weak loose players will call your preflop raise, better players who have limped in will fold. I know of no players who will do this. So am I reading your post correctly? [/ QUOTE ] Actually, I was just trying to point out the fact that when the pot gets big by your raise, relatively weak hands might have the proper odds to call on the flop. And I don't know if I'm too tight or I too rarely raise on pre-flop, but I do observe, from time to time, players folding to my raise pre-flop. Of course I'm not talking about players in the blinds here. And please don't take me too seriously. I'm just a beginner for now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Hold\'em Preflop Strategy According to Abdul
Hi Str8:
Okay. I see where you are coming from. As for whether to faise before the flop with AQ in a multiway pot it really depends on the quality of your opponents. Don't just think in terms of particular hands. If they play bad, you should raise. If they play better, calling begins to make sense. Best wishes, mason
