AJo

[Quercus]

Standard table - players are generally too loose and too passive, but I don't have notes on most because I just moved to $1/$2 recently. Since I 4 table and am not superhuman, I only have a strong read on one nutball at the table, who is not a factor in this hand.

Hey can you PM me this hand? The player counting is messed up. i.e: Where's MP1?

Would you always raise preflop here, or only on loose tables? If I'm reading the SSH stuff correctly, a raise with AJo preflop would be appropriate on a table where 6-8 normally see the flop. This table is too loose, but not quite up to that standard.

Of course, its always possible that a) Miller is incorrect or b) I'm reading the tables wrong.

At this table do you think that a raise with AJo will get called by worse aces and worse jacks and crap non-pair hands on a regular basis?

That's the basic question.
