Re: 1/2 NL, 50BB buyin strategies - TPTK
Cool; I still stand by what I said. I think never folding TPTK or better in a live 1/2 game on a 50BB stack is +EV. I've seen people go to the felt with far worse.
If you are at a table with loose calling standards with respect to raises (this is not unlikely), you might want to widen your limp/reraising standards UTG and UTG+1. I've done it in the Foxwoods 1/2 $100 max game with great success. Example: I limp 33 UTG, UTG+1 makes it $10, 4 people call, I push for $100 (to win a $55 pot), a bunch of people fold, and I called by AQ where I'm a slight favorite with a huge overlay. People will fold out their middle pairs (which are crushing your small pairs or racing with your AK) but call with AK/AQ/KQ (I've even seen KJ call one of these) which you are killing with AK or a slight favorite against with a pair.
