Curtains hand 1: boring pre-flop question

I'm glad you have mastered the one way to win at poker Bluff Daddy. I just hope the rest of the players on Party fold suited broadways as much as you.

as I said in my other post im sure there are good arguments for anyway you want to play qj suited but I dont think saying raise a few preflop and whiff is the best advise. Dont worry there are plenty of players on party willing to call of their stacks on Q high flush draws in level 2

I'll raise here if those guys haven't been seeing a ton of flops, or, of course, reraising a lot.

This isn't the only reason, but part of why I do it is because I don't want people to know a raise means exactly AQ+, TT+ or something like that from me.

I would have folded in the 800 chip games for several reasons, but think the raise would still be ok if you knew the players acting after you were tight (they usually wouldn't be though).

I think in the typical weak-tight early stages this play is well worth the risk. I might pass it up if I have 8 tables going, but generally I would raise this.

I raise this in this spot 100% of the time in the games I play.

Curtains, would you still raise it in the scenario that I gave - in an 800 chip game when your stack was around 850? Currently, I do not. Then again my opponents are loose and bad.

I probably do, but I remember playing a bit tighter in those lower chip games...its been a while. I'd probably raise

Almost any suited connectors (maybe not 54 and below) I raise this here. The steal potential plus position with callers (usually) seems too good here. 1000 would make the play a little juicier.

If you can't play post flop poker its probably best to just muck it. If you can play post flop then you can raise it. And yes, it can be raised in an 800 chip game as well.
