first round on 55s and up
i know its against the super weak-tight strategies that are generally suggested here for early round play, but i like to play hands such as Axs and suited connectors on the first 2 rounds, and if i hit a big draw i play it aggressively, i think it is worth the risk if you can gain an early chiplead, convince me im wrong

Re: first round on 55s and up
i do this at 11s and 22s and it seems to pay off ... if you're in LP and there isnt a raise it seems like a good play at levels 1 and 2 as long as you know when to lay it down

Re: first round on 55s and up
Though I don't have a sufficient sample size in 55s, my general experience with PP sngs is that doubling up early is overrated. Bubble play is where you make your money, and you don't need a huge stack for that. IMO, big draws can be expensive. If you consider that a big stack early does not guarantee $$, while an aggressive all in that you lose guarantees $0, you should wait to make your aggressive plays.
I am no expert, so if anyone can back me up or correct me it would be useful. |

Re: first round on 55s and up
ive been playing the 100's and 200's, the blinds generally get pretty big before its shorthanded, i think its better to have a stack that you can sit back and chill durring this period than be forced to go all in on your next face card

Re: first round on 55s and up
its much more effective to open up early in the 109s and 215s than it is in the 10s and 20s. u can fold everything and be a pushbot for 20%+ in the 10s. u gotta actually paly some poker early in the 215s and 109s. everyone can play a bubble. holla
