Should I limp 22 UTG? - Page 6

jcmack13 · #51 03-02-2005, 03:50 AM

taking advantage of the rebump of this thread, I just want to confirm my idea that limping 22 UTG is at least EV neutral in a full ring game, but automuck in 6max? I ask here instead of HUSH because, well, this thread is here.

So what about suited connectors like 56-9T?

Is this why?

T9s is fine in a good game, probably down to 98s. 76s and the like are going in the muck until I'm in later position.

Playing a small pocket pair is easy postflop. Playing suited conn's is a bit tougher without the godsend that is position.

That was a rhetorical question.

yeah, ask yourself if you'd open raise it in MP2 in a full ring game. if so, open raise it UTG in 6 max. if not, chuck it.

that's a slight oversimplification, but it should serve as a good starting point. you can in fact call with small pairs and suited connectors like 98s UTG in a passive 6 max game, should you find one. but never open limping is a pretty decent strategy.

6max UTG, I usually raise 77+ and ditch the rest. I might raise 66 on my LAGgy days.

What about cold calling 22 UTG?

I believe the correct answer is yes.

you mean UTG+1?

fold 22 to an UTG raise, unless the table is ridiculously loose.
