Re: Who raises AJ and KQ UTG
AJ has quite a lot of value on weak flops. KQ, not so much. KQ is much tougher to play well.

Re: Who raises AJ and KQ UTG
[ QUOTE ]
I dont raise with either UTG [/ QUOTE ] Any reason? [ QUOTE ] Im also a winning player who does quite well but unfortunately doest have PT [/ QUOTE ] Any reason? [ QUOTE ] Look if you want to raise with KQ or AJ UTG thats fine [/ QUOTE ] I am happy that you are fine with my decision to raise AJ and KQ UTG. [ QUOTE ] Im just wondering what the hell you do when reraised ?? Is it an insta muck?? Is it an insta flop bluff on a ragged flop?? [/ QUOTE ] No, few things in poker are an insta-anything. If I'm 3 bet or whiff the flop its insta-make poker decisions. [ QUOTE ] Your out of position [/ QUOTE ] This makes those poker decisions harder. [ QUOTE ] [you]may have several callers..Id imagine your image would be pretty LAG if you are raising frequently in all positions. [/ QUOTE ] these are all fairly hypothetical statements so I suppose there is little I can say other than, "yes." I also may flop the nuts or do one af a great many other things. [ QUOTE ] THE BEST ? WOULD BE DO YOU RAISE WITH 88-99-1010 UTG. [/ QUOTE ] To be honest I don't think any of these preflop polls would be interesting because they end up devoting too much energy to stuff of too little importance. [ QUOTE ] Remeber these can flop much harder than KQ and AJ(barring the freak straights) and actually have value on weak flops. [/ QUOTE ] This seems entirely subjective. What is flopping harder? Sets I guess, but its all pretty relative to the players and action.

But I'm not crazy about either hand, actually. I sometimes feel like I'm raising out of obligation, when I have AJo or KQo in EP. Once I got AJo what seemed like four times in a row when UTG. I was sick of the hand, so I just folded it. But I will admit it was a mistake.

Re: Who raises AJ and KQ UTG
I have 16k hands or so of Party 2/4 in my PT and have gotten AJo 129 times. I raise with it from any position except the blinds unless the pot has already been raised, in which case I fold it. From UTG, where my PFR is 100%, I am winning 0.58bb/100 with it (and 0.52 overall).
I've had KQo 162 times, but only twice UTG -- I raised it both times and lost both hands. Overall I am winning with that hand at 0.31bb/100. I will keep raising these guys. I'm also notoriously weak PF. My PFR overall is only 7.6, a number I am trying to bring up.

From UTG, where my PFR is 100% [/ QUOTE ] What about this hand? I ask because you say your PFR UTG is 100%, but also when I read this hand earlier today I wondered about the limp.

[/ QUOTE ] Read closer. My PFR with AJo is 100% UTG. Meaning I've raised it every time. Not that I raise every single hand I ever get UTG.

Re: Who raises AJ and KQ UTG
In most games, I don't think you give up much by folding AJo and KQo UTG.
Instead of worrying about increasing the number of hands that you play UTG, focus more on playing more hands in LP and improving your post-flop play.
