Re: Pocket 99s
I understand the rationale behind raising 99s and TTs from early position on these slightly tighter tables. Obviously we want fewer opponents. However, very few of the cookie cutter pre flop charts suggest raising 99s and some don't even suggest raising TTs. Even the chart from ITH (Hilger), which is more sensitive to how many callers there are prior to you and whether or not you are first in suggests just a call with 99s and TTs from EP.
I guess my skill level is still suspect enough that I don't feel confident playing the middle pairs. I am reluctant to raise at this stage.
Would you also raise from EP with 88s?
What about 88s, 99s, TTs if you are not first in?
A limp before?
A raise before?
TY in advance.
