Party .50/1 Starting Hand Requirements

[GreggyB]

What kind of starting hands do you guys play on the Party .5/1 tables? I'm especially interested in how you play Ace-Rag and easily dominated hands like QJ, QT, KJ, KT. What do you do with KQ? Obviously see a flop, but do you want to raise with it, or see the flop cheaply? Do you feel that Lee Jones' starting requirements work for these PP tables or should they be looser? Tighter?

My experience *seems* to be that you can get away with playing QJ and the likes because the play is so incredibly bad that people will call you down with middle and bottom pair. However, I haven't been playing here long and haven't yet registered poker tracker so I can't give you stats... only annecdotal evidence. And I don't know if I should be raising with them or just limping in. And does position make that much of a difference since you rarely pick up pots with a late-pos semi-bluff?

I would be very interested in seeing an explicit list that someone's compiled of which starting hands to play under certain conditions, much like Lee Jones did at the end of his pre-flop chapters.

Thanks
