A less clear hand to comment on for the esteemed panel

I could never imagine just calling with it though. That's definitely a bad play.

Why don't you try cracking open SSH and taking a look at the preflop hand recomendations. And the same to anyone who would call such a preflop play "weak-tight".

1st off the SSHE recommendations are just that recommendations. As you play more hands you learn when and why certain hands should be raised. Personally through playing in tighter and more aggro games then those described in SSHE I have changed my preflop play that my ranges no longer mirror, although still similar, the recommendations in the book.

If played a decent number of hands from 1/2 to 20/40 on party in the last year and have yet to find a table that I thought it correct to do anything but raise AJo UTG.

I raise preflop with this UTG 100% of the time, and the hand plays completely different.

OH BOY ANOTHER AJo UTG RAISE/CALL DEBATE! YEAH!!!!!!

This hand is completely boring and it gets posted 5 times every week
Fold preflop/flop/turn/river.
Call preflop/flop/turn/river
Raise preflop/flop/turn/river

Circle whichever action you want for any street, you will probably never get two seperate people to agree on it.

What Eeegah says.


Use the filter in PT:

Select the hand

Positions Off the Button
Between 6 AND 7 -- or choose Exactly 7 for UG only

Bind Status
Not a blind (if the game is shorthanded 6 or 7 OTB can put you in one of the blinds)

Pre-flop Raise
Raised first in

I am +EV for for both suited and unsuited. More so for suited though. Granted, I only have 8 hands that meet this criteria in this particular data base which has 9K of my hands.
