Default Re: O/8 Playing for High/Bet the flop?

[ QUOTE ]
I would play a hand with a 9 in it from late position. For example, 9TJQ from the button, with many limpers.

However, I would not always bet a two-high, one-low flop. For example, if a KK2 flop checked to me with that hand, I would not bet.

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah I can tell that what I'm saying can be misgrasped. Clearly the hand is a fold on the flop. But if it was a legit high hand then my advice works fine as a SOP. I'll play QJT9ds, might even put in a raise with all those limpers. QJT9r is a muck. Not sure what I do with the other ones. Can you think of another 9 high hand that's not a muck? KK2 isn't really the kind of flop I'm talking about. The point is that 9 in a High only hand is an exception. Most of the 9 high hands aren't playable. As far as a pair plus low flop, I don't think you could be to wrong to bet it, provided sometimes you actually have the K.
