From the Text Book: HAND READING

For all aspiring poker demons, a hand reading exercise!

TABLE: Playing quite tight, and most hands are getting raised PF. Player to my immediate left is loose (V$IP 40%) to the Button they are tighter (typically V$IP 15-17) but do know where to find the raise button. Button is unknown, Blinds are somewhat loose.

I feel strangely confident that a limp will get raised, so why not go for the text-book LRR. I have not done it in a long time... [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

The man to watch here is on the Button.

Damn! That was unexpected. I have to call this down IMO.

OK people, tell me what Button has.

This is not so hard, but if we get a sufficient response I may run a weekly "Guess the hand for $20" post... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
