5. Describing 55 as an easy fold UTG is ugly. [/ QUOTE ] Why? /d |

[ QUOTE ] 5. Describing 55 as an easy fold UTG is ugly. [/ QUOTE ] Why? /d [/ QUOTE ] This is a Party .5/1 game. Unless it's unusually tight/agressive, I limp here with ANY pocket pair, and ANY Ax suited. In this game, this is an easy call. |

You need roughly 4 other players to make a low pocket pair worth playing. At a typical low limit table, an UTG limp virtually guarantees a 5-handed flop at minimum, and often much more. If it's an easy fold, you're probably at a bad micro table. If you're at a good table, then that fold cannot be easy. At best, it can be marginal.
You're simply not going to lose much money on pocket pairs. 4 things tend to happen with low pocket pairs: 1. You flop a set and likely win. 2. You don't flop a set and fold. 3. You flop a straight draw, look at the odds and make a decision. 4. There's a ton of preflop action and even though you miss the flop, you look at the odds and decide whether call to draw to a gutshot and/or a turned set. |

You need 4 other players and not a raise right? Otherwise you will have some catching up to do no? Such as 5 BB maybe and with a 3-bet and a cap it doesn't get better yes?
But I know - loose-passive, easy call bla bla... Just seems that every time someone limps early with crappy pairs they get raised... [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] /d |

At nearly all .5/1 games you can call pocket 2s or A2s UTG.

Any game that is good enough to sit at is good enough to play even 2's UTG. Even with something like 2's, if you hit your set it'll be forever before anyone can put you on a hand. Just don't chase them after the flop. (Although I've heard arguments to staying in if they would be at least second highest pair.)
I couldn't imagine not raising JJ UTG, that seems to be weak tight, but I'm a noob so take that with a grain of salt. RC -RC |
