1) Depends on my image and how “LA” Button is, but usually I’ll fold this.
2) Raise 75% / fold 25%.
3) Limp. I think raising this is pretty bad.
4) Limp 75% / fold 25%. Depends on how LAG lag can be postflop, and who button is.
5) Limp 80% / fold 20%. Depends on table image and what good player allows me to get away with postflop.
6) Raise 80% / fold 20%. Depends on how often Button will allow me to steal position.
7) Fold. 85s is a call, 84s is close. 83s is a fold.
8) Raise 90-95%, limp 5-10%.

Ent, what are your reasons for varying your play at the micros where it is most likely that no one is paying any attention to what you are doing? I would think that picking the most +EV play and going with it each and every time would be the best plan of action unless I am at a slightly more observant table where I need to vary a bit more. your thoughts?

Emmitt,

Say I've raised 8 of the last 10 hands. I'm much less likely to raise KTo in #6 then, because I'm much more likely to get played back at. Even unobservant opponents notice things.

Also, since concrete reads weren't provided ("solid player limps, bad player limps, you have 97s"), I have to say that there are some solid/bad combos where I'd fold but most I'd limp. It's not mixing up my play as much as it is saying that there are some game conditions where I'd fold and some where I'd limp/raise.

That exact thing happened to me last night, I caught AK KK AQ KJs TT or something in my first orbit at a table.. They gave me with first couple without showdown, but they definately wanted to start seeing what I had after a few hands, to 'keep the maniac under control'. Nothing is sweeter than catching aces or kings at the end of one of these runs, since everyone 'has to see'

That street really only runs one way though, doing a lot of folding attracts a lot less notice than a lot of hard aggression, so folding for 3 solid O's doesn't mean you can raise KJo early or something..
