Re: Curtains Hand - 66 Lvl 2
My default is just to minraise it in this situation, unless you have a really tough player in the BB, in which case I might go 3x or 4x depending on stack size. You have position and probably the best hand.

Maybe even a big one? FWIW, I don't like any option here. If I played with opponents who didn't know who I was I would prefer to limp. |

Fold.
Playing this for set value is not going to be profitable in the long run... It's probably fine for some players to limp this or raise it....but they are going to be major exceptions. Yugoslav |

Re: Curtains Hand - 66 Lvl 2
I sure do feel that 66 has positive expectation in position versus two effective opponents. The button is a nonfactor here as he is too short to affect the hand. I will take 66 against the blinds in position anyday.

Re: Curtains Hand - 66 Lvl 2
You raise 3xbb so when the bb calls you and checks when he misses the flop you can fire out a 2/3 pot bet and take it down. Also 11% of the time you flop and set and could de-stack somebody.
I like raising here but I am willing to play a lot of hands post flop that most people aren't. Of course you get into trouble some times but the majority of the times people are folding everything but the nuts the first 2-3 levels so I pick up a lot of small pots and win a few big ones. Yah I get into trouble at times but I never get trapped. Of course in a t800 chip tournament I think open folding here is acceptable. |

Just because it's a curtains hand? Anyway, assuming this is at the 215s, the BB is far less likely to flat call a raise than at lower buyins. At a TA table, there are only two categories of hands here: those you will fold to a re-raise, and those you won't. The latter category would be something like [AA-QQ, AK]. Maybe tighter. ***All of your other hands are identical.*** The better the players, the less your cards matter. That makes it very difficult to specify the "correct" action at the early levels. It depends greatly on metagame considerations that hardly ever come into play below the 100s. My two cents... |
