every time i make a preflop raise, speculative or legit, online or live, in LP (CO, MP2 or 3) i look left and pray for those between me and the button to fold. if they clear out I know it will be a good hand.

No, but if you enjoy the challenge of playing hands out of position, more power to you.

I'm assuming you're also praying for the button to call you. I thought that's what you were implying in your op.

serious question: are you a native speaker of english?

i ask that because i think my post makes it fairly clear that i want everyone who has position on me to fold and everyone i have position on to call, no?

"i look left and pray for those between me and the button to fold. "

Yes, I am a native speaker. And if you're hoping to be in position throughout the hand, then I think anyone would agree with you.

Nope, I like playing hands OOP. Your raises and bets get far more respect. You can also pull moves like check raises or bet-push with good hands. Much more interesting.

Position is everything in limit and tournaments, in NL I think it is massively overrated.

{edit} make that online small stakes no limit. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
