Default Re: A few good threads on this board

I especially love this one:
"Low-limit Preflop Quiz, by Ed Miller
A classic! Contains 20 questions on how to play a (very) loose table pre-flop"

And this is my favorite question:

18. UTG raises, four people call, and you have 86o in the BB.

Call. Similar to the 73s hand. Another important consideration when making these calls is WHERE the raise comes from. In this hand (and the 73s hand), the raise comes from UTG... that is, from your left. With hands like this, you will often flop a weak draw - bottom pair, a gutshot, a backdoor flush or straight draw, etc. With these hands, you would really like to be able to see the turn for one bet. When the preflop raiser (and likely flop bettor) is on your left, you check, the bettor bets, and then the whole table acts before you do. If everyone calls or folds, then you can call, closing the action. This is very advantageous RELATIVE POSITION when you have marginal hands like 73s and 86o. In fact, if the SB had raised each of these hands, rather than UTG, I probably would have folded both of them.

Even "Jesus" himself can't convince a lot of 2+2ers that this is a good play. So I guess I should just stop trying. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
