Playalong time: Play my opponent's hand...

Party 5/10 6max

You are the CO.

Reads:
1. Button is unknown.
2. SB is a very loose (70% VPIP), very passive straightforward player (only bets 2pair or better, raises PF with the most premium hands, doesn't bet draws, doesn't semibluff/bluff, doesn't slowplay, doesn't 3bet/cap w/o nuts) He is the reason I am playing 5/10.
3. I am in the BB. I have TAG 6max stats (23.5/13.5/2.2). I am aware of SB's tendencies. Also assume that I am playing very ABC poker (not getting tricky).

UTG folds, MP folds, you look down at T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] . Your action?

I raise and giggle like a naughty schoolgirl.

Either I'm sleep deprived to the point of being hysterical, or that is far and away the funniest fukcing post I've ever seen on this forum.

(probably the former, but I had to take a minute to recover after reading that.)

Fold preflop.

Well, that was easy.

(Kidding. Open-limping in 6max is criminal, and you've got a decent hand, so I'd raise it up. Odds are the SB will call with a weaker hand considering his VP$IP and that lucky guy in the BB probably thinks he'll be able to outplay both of you and will call, too.)

Against a loose player I'd probably want more to steal with, but against a SB who's that poor and predictable, I think that'd be a good hand to play. So I'd raise it up and hope to see SB call and the button and that tight SOB in the BB fold. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This is borderline for me. I'd be more inclined to raise it up if SB was tight. Since I figure he'll call, you're likely to call, too, so playing this hand for fold equity is going to be shaky. I don't mind playing against the SB, but I'd rather not play against you. I'd open raise on the button for sure, but being in the CO with a couple unfavorables, I'm leaning towards a fold. However, for the sake of continuing this discussion, I'll say raise, because open limping is terrible.

Edit: For this post, and this post only, I think my designation should be changed from veteran to ]-[4><0|2, but then back to veteran for my next post.

I have no idea what that means, but for some reason I'm inclined to agree.

Well, before I bothered explaining this to you guys, I had 1337 posts. If you don't get it, be thankful that you're not nerdy enough.

I have a friend from college that we called (and still call) the Wookie (Wook, for short). [awe]He was much less complex than you are, tho.[/awe]

He's now taken his actuarial tests, and walks around with a beer in his hand at 3:30 in the morning saying things like, "Boz...I can tell you when you're going to die," in a Slingblade voice.
