Default Re: Would you rather raise KJo or 55 UTG in a TAG game?

Kyle,

FYI, the game I assume he's talking about was played primarily for entertainment value and not for monetary gain.

It is an important question for anyone looking to play at big limits sometime down the road. It's also a good theory workout.

I agree its a good question. I guess I was just looking at it from a "how would I play these hands in a small stakes game?" perspective, as this is the small stakes forum and all. I do admit raising with 55 UTG would be better than raising KJ UTG if it was indeed a table full of TAGs, not in a small stakes game though... not one I'd voluntarily play in at least lol.

1. Calling with either of these hands UTG at a table of TAGs is bad. Just thought I'd get that out there.

That says it all. Toss the two junk hands UTG in a 9 or 10-handed game.

and i don't see why you would want to play at that table either...

Because playing smart opponents is fun and I think I had an edge at that table.

Wrong. You missed an adjective. There are plenty of games where playing lots of hands UTG is fine, and KJs and 55 are no exceptions. I would fold KJo UTG baring very few exceptions.

kj. i don't see why would you raise 55 UTG anyway...

[/ QUOTE ]

Think harder about it. I did yesterday at a table with 9 other 2+2ers.

In this game you likely can raise any 2 UTG and scare the [censored] out of them

Or, if you have my image, limping UTG scares the [censored] out of them.
