Default Preflop stuff #3

You are on the button.
UTG raises.
It is folded around up to you. You do not have a great hand.


Are the following statements true in all situations:

You are more inclined to play your when...
A) The raiser opens with a wide range
B) The blinds are tight
C) The raiser will often give up on the flop
D) Villain is passive postflop
... that's all I came up with

Please specify which statements aren't _always_ true and why.
If you come up with more true statements then feel free to add them to the list for discussion.

Its going to be hard to find an utg raiser than plays passive postflop.

Heres another one:

E) I am more inclined to play when my opponent plays in such a way that gives away his hole cards.

That pretty much dictates my play every time. I fold. Unless you mean stuff like AJs and 99-77 are not great hands.

As for conditions C) and D), you've run into a rare player. Are you thinking about pulling moves on him hoping he'll fold overs? That can get expensive.

Also, condition B) isn't always true.

I meant stuff like A9o... maybe JTs.

When is it false? When they are very very loose and you play a hand that is good multiway, ex JTs?

Is it even false when you hold A9o when they are extremly loose callers? (uncommon)
