Who likes this line when openraising from the small blind?
 

Only been at the table for 10 hands, no substantial reads.
Do I raise with any 2 playable here?
Do I keep the pressure on...

Maybe if the BB is outrageously passive and likes to fold just abuot everything you can do this, but 99% of the time I'm folding 36o here. Odds are that he's ahead of you preflop, and you will be out of position postflop.

I can't see this being +EV against an average opponent.

Re: Who likes this line when openraising from the small blind?
 

if you make the raise you have to follow up on the flop and turn. With that said, I fold this pf.

This is mainly due to the fact that if you openraise every hand from the sb, the bb will start calling you down with Q high - ruining your fold equity.

show that you can fold though, and a BB has to put a lot more thought into continuing when the flop whiffs him though.

I'm not openraising any two in the sb until I have a read.

I like both discussions (learning a lot about the pf), but I was mostly wondering about the flop/turn line when openraising from the SB and getting a small piece.

Re: Who likes this line when openraising from the small blind?
 

Standard on flop and turn. Preflop is bad most of the time as you know.

Re: Who likes this line when openraising from the small blind?
 

This raise is goddamn stupid with 1/3 blinds and the rake at Party 3/6 as high as it is.

Re: Who likes this line when openraising from the small blind?
 

There are many hands I try to steal with...and 3 6 is definitely not one of them. Glad it worked out for you.

Re: Who likes this line when openraising from the small blind?
 

fold preflop. you have 6 high and are OOP. and the structure is 1/3. foldfoldfold.

Re: Who likes this line when openraising from the small blind?
 

talk about a loose raise, jesus

Re: Who likes this line when openraising from the small blind?
 

the only way to make a profit shorthanded is to try to win every pot. don't listen to the haters. standard. sometimes i'll bluff c/r the river.

Sans reads, fold pf, but you know that. You have to follow up on the flop and turn, but if the turn bet is called, i'm checkfolding the river UI.

It sucks if they call.

Just realized: 1/3 structure. Eh, that discourages the SBTrashRaise.

It's a fold in a 2/3 stucture.
