Default Re: I\'d like to discuss how to play marginal starting hands in EP/EMP

I'm a beginner as well, a few more hands than you have but not by much. I'll give ya my thoughts but take my advice for what it's worth.

Most of those hands I wouldn't play out of EP unless the table was loose-passive pre-flop and I didn't fear a raise. In MP the same holds true execpt that if the table was tight-passive pf, I'd limp with KQo, KJo, KTs, and A9s, and I'd raise with AJo and AQo hoping to steal the blinds. (Unless there was a player between me and the BB who would defend his blind or position, that is.) I hate QJo and almost always fold it, except on the button when it's folded to me, or in the blinds.

I never play medium unsuited connectors, especially unsuited 1-gap connectors except in the BB. Not sure I'd even complete the SB with them.
