Ultra-conservative in the Small Blind
Yahoo.
It's time for me to start playing some 5/10 6-max. (Thanks, Evan and Blair.) I plan on having no idea how to play in the blinds. So...until I figure out how to play this game, I plan on playing virtually nothing when HU in the SB against the BB. What is "virtually nothing"? Please keep in mind that I am NOT looking for an optimal HU-in-the-SB starting strategy. I'm looking for a way to make my small blind play really fricking easy until I learn the basics of this game. Here's what I have so far: I plan on raising or folding in the small blind. I'm getting 3:1 to play. So I shouldn't be playing fewer than 25% of hands. But SB has crappy position. So I'll just play the top 20% of hands because I'm being ultra-tight and choosing to take a small loss in the small blind right now. There are 169 unique hands. If I play only the top 20%, my postflop play should be easy and my losses from the SB shouldn't be staggering. So, the Top 20% (34 unique hands) AA-55 (10 hands) AKs-A8s (6 hands) AK-A9 (5 hands) KQs-K9s (4 hands) KQ-KT (3 hands) QJs-Q9s (3 hands) QJ (1 hand) JTs (1 hand) JT (1 hand) Is this too tight even for a rank newbie? |
