9Ts UTG

[gildwulf]

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

Edit: this was at 5/10, btw.

In the 3/6 6m game and the 5/10 6m tables I've played, that's terrible. Investing two bets OOP with 9Ts is surely a leak.

Standard, no. It sure looks like the nuts when I'm tilting though. (I don't think that was me)

Its pure shania, thats all.

That's what I thought. It definitely threw me off though...

In the games I play, I think if you're going to do it regularly it's a leak. 3/6 6m isn't really about Shania and so on. Maybe in your games it is.

Maybe "terrible" is an exaggeration, but I think it's bad and should be a standard fold and only raised from time to time, particularly in the presence of observant opponents.

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.

I play 5/10, not 3/6.
