My Preflop Game - Opinions please
 

I just wanted to share my basic preflop strat and see if anyone has an suggestions that could improve it. Its intended for low stakes limit holdem (10 handed games).

The 'decision' on the left is assuming the pot is unraised when its your turn to act. The 'decision' on the right means someone has raised first.

EP/Middle Position:
AA-QQ........... Raise/ReRaise
AKs,AK.......... Raise/ReRaise
JJ.............. Raise/Call Raise
AQs,AQ,AJs...... Raise/Call Raise
TT-77........... Limp/Fold if Already Raised
AJ,ATs-A7s...... Limp/Fold if Already Raised
KQs,KQ,KJs,QJs.... Limp/Fold if Already Raised

Late Position:
Raise if First in with: TT-77, AJ, ATs, KQs, KQ, KJs.

SB UN-Raised:
Play these addition hands: 22-66, A2s-A6s, ATo, Any Suited connector or suited 1 Gap cards.

SB Raised:
Only Play The Following Hands: 22-AA, AKs-ATs, AK, AQ, KQs

BB Raised:
22-66, AT, Axs +All Basic starting hands listed up top.

I personaly in a full ring:
3bet pre-flop with JJ
Open raise with TT
3 Bet AQs
KQs I raise UTG+1
I am sure I raise/reraise with more hands than I listed. But these are the ones that I really think need to be raised/reraised pre flop.

I am going to transition from 6max to full ring pretty soon, I would like to see what others say.

Raise KQs, 3 bet JJ, 3 bet AQ and AQs, Raise with AJo and ATs, limp with Axs from at least MP1 on (UTG on if the game is loose) play more pocket pairs.

Raise TT.

Open raise from the button with far more hands than that.

Re: My Preflop Game - Opinions please
 

you're too tight. particularly in late position.


If i get ATo or KTo in LP and am first in I am most certainly raising.

If I'm the button or CO I'll usually be raising with any ace or any pair.


From EP/MP you should consider raising with many of the hands that you are limp/folding.


That said....your strategy, albeit a bit weak-tight, isn't too terrible.

If I was teaching a virtually total newbie to play I would probably recommend something close to this as a starting guide and THEN gradually add-in the appropriate aggressiveness later.

Also, there are a lot of suited connectors and low pairs you can toss in behind a few limpers.

Don't just learn what to do. Learn why you do them.
