AJ-10o, KQ-Jo in EP....
This is a very general question, and one I am almost embarased to ask.
When you are dealt the range of hands AJ-10o, KQ-Jo, what is your play from positions utg, utg+1, utg+2, at a full(9-10) table?? I would be interested, as there are no specific hands as an example, to hear the criteria for raising, folding,limping [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] or pushing. i.e. - above average at a tight table(raise), M under 3(push). Maybe it's too much to ask, for such a detailed responsed, although I think this discussion would be interesting. Let's give those who don't want to give all the criteria for all the options for a very general situation. You are at mid point of a mtt. You have a average or slightly below average chipstack. The table is fairly tight, but not pushovers. blinds 75/150, your stack ~2500. You are dealt AQ-10, KQ-Jo, in one of the first three postions, UTG, UTG+1, UTG+2..... your play?? |

Re: AJ-10o, KQ-Jo in EP....
I don't think you can treat AQo and KJo the same. A push from EP with KJ is clearly -EV while AQ is quite a bit better.
Also, a lot depends on the buyin and type of tournament. If its a lower buyin ($1-11) I think many people would call with a range that favors your AQ. Also if your playing a rebuy it is definitely +EV. If I have an average stack I'm generally folding AJo,ATo, KQo, and KJo from EP and raising w/ AQ 3-4 BB. A lot of this is dependent on your image though. |

Removed AQ... put it in by mistake.
Let's say tit is $30-$100 buy-in,Even our LAGish 2+2ers are folding in this situation?? |

In a tournament I would be inclined to be more Aggressive, in a ring game I would be inclined to Fold.

KJ and AT are generally mucks in EP. AJ I might get a little frisky with.
If my stack is getting dicey I'm willing to gamble with these hands, but if you have a healthy stack there's no need to bleed a single chip. |

Re: AJ-10o, KQ-Jo in EP....
At these levels, I definitely raise AQ and AJ, probably AT and KQ. KJ gets a little iffy. I'm more inclined to raise than fold depending on certain factors, including how my table responds to raises from EP, if I'm UTG, UTG+1, UTG+2, stack sizes, etc. The more things that improve my chances of taking the pot down preflop, the better.
