Range of hands you defend from SB

Based on comparing my stats to others, I'm folding my SB too much to a steal raise. I'm wondering what range of hands you guys 3 bet with?

My VPIP is too low (17-19) and I'm hoping this will help....

Re: Funny stuff

I will save this thread.

Last week I saw a guy at the Mirage blitzed off his ass eat a cocktail napkin before being kicked out. He had been drinking from about 3am-1pm according to the floor.

Anyone notice Mason in the crowd?

I'm pretty sure that was Mason sitting in the crowd from what I saw when the camera panned over a few times. I might take a screenshot later to post. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

AA vs KK back to back on a 6 handed table

Hi,

How would you go about solving this problem?

The table is 6 handed and two players are dealt AA and KK back to back. (They received the same hand twice, not AA and then KK)

Thanks!

Re: Suited hole cards, one-suited flop....but the wrong suit

Couple of data points:
- Any two suited cards in your hand 3.3/1 (24%)
- Three suited cards on the flop 18/1 (5.2%)

Re: Checking TPTK on the Turn

Did you have any kind of read on UTG?

Against an unknown Party 3/6 player I'd still bet the turn and call down the CR unimproved.

Re: Inside the Poker Mind vs Psych of Poker.

Personally, Inside the Poker Mind has helped my game tremendously. I think it's one of the most valuable poker books someone can own right behind TOP and HPFAP.

Re: A new move for me

I think your play is fine on all streets. Hands like this are pretty easy to play because if your opponent shows any aggression they are easy to get away from.

Re: Why Joe Tall plays 20-40 and I play 4-8

I think Sklansky's post was about AKs specifically. I assume the poster means AKo.

But still.. You have a premium hand! Raise!
