Default Re: I am awfully tight pre flop. And some others questions

By the way AK...your English is very good.

The reason this hand is good in late position is that when it works, you are going to 3/4 or scoop someone a lot of the time. When it doesn't work, you can get away from it cheaply.

In late position, you raise preflop so that the betting gets checked around to you and if you don't catch an A, 2, 3 or two of your suits on the flop, you can check and most likely get to the turn without putting in another big bet.

That's a lot of outs that make your hand better AND can potentially destroy someone else's hand. You have to look at it from both sides.
