Re: Things I never do
[ QUOTE ]
--Open outside the blinds with small pocket pairs 22-44
[/ QUOTE ]
Open these on the button usually.
[ QUOTE ]
--Open in EP/MP with suited connectors smaller than T9s
[/ QUOTE ]
Don't start now.
[ QUOTE ]
--Open with unsuited connectors smaller than JTo anywhere
[/ QUOTE ]
Sometimes I'll open the best of these(T9o and 98o) on the button vs. tight blinds.
[ QUOTE ]
--Come in with steal hands (Kxs, Ax, 66-- with a limper)
[/ QUOTE ]
I do this a lot and so do many good players whose hand histories I've reviewed.
[ QUOTE ]
--Coldcall or call a raise from the SB (reraise or fold)
[/ QUOTE ]
I cold call sometimes in multi-way pots with suited connectors and pocket pairs.
[ QUOTE ]
--Open limp, from any position
[/ QUOTE ]
Rarely I'll do this in the SB only under the right circumstances.
[ QUOTE ]
--Steal with offsuit hands with a 2 or 3 except from the SB
[/ QUOTE ]
I steal A2/A3 OTB only.
[ QUOTE ]
--3bet without a high quality hand except from the BB, or a pair 55+ in the SB (specifically hands like KJ/ATs/66 get tossed to an EP raise).
[/ QUOTE ]
I 3-bet medium quality hands like ATs and 66 quite frequently. I'll go lower than that if circumstances permit.
[ QUOTE ]
--Steal with no hand whatsoever (though I will steal from the SB with ATS against someone who folds their BB too much, but not from the button)
[/ QUOTE ]
I'll steal with 32o if I think it's +EV. It isn't very often.
[ QUOTE ]
--Open raise with low (A8--) aces in the CO, same with K8o and lower.
[/ QUOTE ]
A7/A8 are good in the CO. I'll raise down to A5 if button is tight.
