Re: Starting Hand Requirements
[ QUOTE ]
I don't have alot of tourney experience that's why I'm here. I was thinking that coming in for a raise 4x the BB and if lots of limpers then 5-6x the BB to weed the crowd. Then if I'm raised from an LP depending on the raise I might call it. LP could be playing allot of different cards and I wouldn't put my tourney life at stake for AQ or even AJs. Do you think raising 3BB is enough? [/ QUOTE ] 3 is fine.. if there are limpers you should only be raising with AQ from late position, not from early because of the chance of someone picking up AK, AA, KK or QQ and popping you back, and then you're in a world of pain. But of course, with limpers, you raise more. Look for Daliman's post on it, I didn't raise enough before reading it, now I do [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] As for LP could be playing a lot of cards, I think you need to read about the 'gap concept' to find this isn't usually the case, unless he's a maniac.

Re: Starting Hand Requirements
I don't understand why people raise AJs in SNGs 33s. Ok, maybe a small raise in LP to fold out the blinds.
Are you hoping get called by AT or KJ with a raise? Keep them in with a limp. I limp with AJs UTG and fold to a raise. You raised UTG... 1. You're likely to be dominated. 2. You're really only comfortable if you flop a J. 3. You're in a world of hurt against a reraise. Limp. Save up for a big double up with a set of 4s. If you're playing at Poker Room, where you start with 1500, limp with 22 you can handle a 100 raise.

Yes, at Party. If it's an aggressive table then there's no way to play 22 UTG, it can't withstand a raise, and my odds to play for a set are gone to whack. [/ QUOTE ] And that, in a nutshell, is why I will never play at party. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Starting Hand Requirements

Raise with AJs? No thanks, unless it's folded to me in late position. AQ I will raise again in late position, but this time with limpers - otherwise it's a limp, too. [/ QUOTE ] wait...so if a few limp to you in lp and u hold AQ u raise, but if folds to you in lp same hand you limp? That seems the opposite of what one should do imo. Maybe I misunderstood though in which case, sorry. Or I understood but just play it differently maybe. Of course it helps to clarify that we are speaking of early levels in a SNG, right? (1-3)
