K9o

Simple question, what are the raising standards from UTG 4 handed party 5-10 game.

I've been raising K9o here every time. Any thoughts on the EV to this play.

What about A8o? or A8o UTG 5 handed

4-handed I raise K9o "UTG" every time if the button isn't crazy loose. I don't think there's anything wrong with raising A8o UTG in a 5-handed game either, slightly more marginal in a 6-handed game but I think it's doable. Why don't you try it out?

i prob will, i just hate raising those type of hands in super loose games though because it can become very difficult to play multi way and becomes less profitable.

What about K9o 5handed? Again i think these borderline hands depend somewhat on how tight the table is or how aggro reraising it is.

In very loose games I think mucking is the best option with hands like A8o-A9o. And K9o is a muck for me 5-handed UTG.

[maxpowers21]

I agree. What about KTo UTG 5 handed though?

[wuarhg]

KTo 5-handed is definately a raise, I often raise it 6-handed.

Are u winning with KTo UTG 6handed? I raise it in CO and sometimes UTG+1, but UTG?

I cant make A9o and A8o win UTG, 6handed, at 10/20.

I recently added them, so you could say that to draw a conclusion would be hard to do at this time.
