Re: SSH Preflop Chart
In their defense (not that they need it), poker does not lend itself to a nice linear treatment. One thing does not follow after another very well. Dozens of different concepts are frequently in play for any given decision.

Re: SSH Preflop Chart
Online there are much fewer situations I would play A2s than in a live low limit game, do to the increased looseness POSTFLOP when playing live.
To play it profitably I feel you have to know your opponents and know that sometimes the board comes A109r and you will raise and other times you will fold to the same exact board |

Re: SSH Preflop Chart
No. IMO, Q9s bites, but J9s is OK for 1 bet in MP or LP. I'll play Q9s from CO or Button for 1 bet with at least 3 callers in front of me depending on who they are.

[/ QUOTE ] I think you should generally be playing them in lp if 2 players have limped. Id say it's even playable against one depending on the limper. Of course you could choose to raise 1 limper. IMO these hands depend a lot on who limped. I've started playing a lot more hands against loose limpers and my winrate is the better for it. |

Re: SSH Preflop Chart
I love those hands and play them a bit over 1/3 of the times I am dealt them (according to PT). That said, they have added nothing to my win rate (directly at least) over the past few months. (They have taken nothing away either, so...)

Re: SSH Preflop Chart
I have about 130k hands in my database. I don't think that this is a large enough sample to draw conclusions about particular hands (e.g., it says TT > JJ), but I think there are some clues to be seen.
Overall A2s- A7s is neutral vs <4 opponents is negative vs >= 4 opponents is positive in a raised pot is negative in an unraised pot is positive vs >= 4 opponents in a raised pot is negative vs >= 5 opponents in a raised pot is negative I have taken this to mean that I need to be more careful to ensure that I am playing these when I can get into a multiway pot for 1 bet. (or when I can get HU with a weak limper, as others have pointed out) |
