I play 5/10, not 3/6.

I don't know how many observant opponents there are in that game, but my experiences are that it's loose enough that I don't want be OOP for two bets with that hand unless I know that it will somehow benefit me later.

No game is purely about it. But the idea is that even semi observant opponents will go "hey he raised 910 utg, wtf?" and they will think you are retarded. Thats a good thing.

You just word-for-word described me and my reaction at the table.

[Catt]

I do this sometimes. I do it with 87s every so often. I did this at 5/10 and I do it at 10/20. These are great hands to show down when you hit a flop worthy of a showdown. It's not a standard raise.

[gildwulf]

I guess it's great for deception...I had KK, flop came Q99 and I put him on AQ or KQ...

JTs is standard for me.

T9s... meh, I've never done it but I might consider it at the right table.

I just saw a 2+2 stat (27/18) raise 9Ts UTG. Is this standard for anyone and why?

[/ QUOTE ]

I do it occasionally.

[/ QUOTE ]

As will I. I have even done 89s from time to time.

Even JTs seems a little loose for me and I play around 27/18...maybe I need to loosen up under the gun.

I just looked, I´ve raised it half the time I´ve gotten it, which means 6/12 in a run of 35K hands, so there is no way this can be a leak and tbh, I dont raise it for deception, I think it´s a pos EV play when I do and I´d prolly open more often with it in 5/10 or lower as people play worse.

I´m perfectly fine with 4 ways for 2 bets or such against players who calls with crap and make huge mistakes after the flop.

I'm 28/22, so take that FWIW.

i usually raise JTs utg and am 23/16. But I suck and probably am fairly incosistent with my preflop actions.
