I'm going to post some hands and I want you to respone with whatever is the FIRST thing that comes to your mind.


1) AJ off
<font color="red">RAISE </font>

2) 44
<font color="red">FLOP A SET </font>

3) 72 off
<font color="red">FOLD </font>

4) KJ sooted
<font color="red">ROYAL </font>

5) 89 sooted
<font color="red">DRAW </font>

6) QQ
<font color="red">MONEY </font>


Now try positionally. Assume limit full ring game.

1) AJ off; you are third to act. UTG limps.
<font color="red">RAISE </font>

2) 44 in the BB. Button raises, SB folds.
<font color="red">CALL </font>

3) 72 off (For this example: HU NL cash game)
<font color="red">FOLD </font>

4) KJsooted; 4th to act. Folds to you.
<font color="red">RAISE </font>

5) 89sooted; 4th to act. UTG limps.
<font color="red">LIMP </font>

6) QQ; UTG, UTG+1, UTG+2 each limp. Folds to you on button.
<font color="red">RAISE </font>

Have at it! NO CHEATING! Say what first comes to mind!

ok. grunch

1. raise (get it heads up)
2. fold (unless I spike a set Im guessing HU)
3. fold (unless I am 100% certain I can steal it in which case it dont matter what I have)
4. raise (cos im first in and my SSH chart says to jack it up)
5. fold (need more limpers)
6. raise it up (no overcards please Mr Dealer)

Edit: ooh...apparently folding 44 HU is weak (reading other posts). I guess that means I dont like the myriad of overcards I will surely see....Im such a tighty....I suppose a visit to 6max should fix my "disease"....hehe

Good responses so far guys. I wasn't necessarily looking for "raise" fold", etc. but what comes to you mind.

For instance when I get like KT off in the BB and UTG raises and 3 people cold call I'll call and immediately think "look for Jack, queen. I basically try to identify what the best flop for me would be and look for it. This is pretty obvious but I literally will say what I want to see that would give me OESD. If I hit my K or T, I'm not interested much in playing this multiway.

As far as you say you are tight with 44. I agree. I think a 3-bet here is optimal. I've been doing this in the BB with mid pairs. I'll 3-bet, and either bet, or raise the flop no matter what falls. Chances are only 1 paint card will fall and it's slim that they hold that card in their hand. They usually call and check the turn UI, and I bet and they fold. I pulled this move on a guy the other night and it felt so sweet.

EDIT: Of course as Sklansky would imply, it's dangerous to get involved in small pots with nominal hand but in this case you can still pick up a couple BB's if you are right. Plus it lets that guy know not to F with your blind anymore. I totally b*tchslapped this guy the other night with like 66 and he folded on the turn UI. He didn't attemt steal after that

haha i love the responses regarding ace jack. this is why you can take down so many pots with continuation bets with AT and lower.

AJ = ATTACK! KILL! CRUSH! DESTROY! MAKE MONEY MONEY MAKE MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!! TAKE MONEY MONEY TAKE MONEY MONEY MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only one that matters

I'm having trouble deciding what to do with AJoff from first or 2nd to act.

Are you raising this? I think I misplay AJoff a lot and I'd like to fix that leak.

I fold AToff all day long from first or 2nd to act.

And what do you do if someone 3-bets you PF and you hold AJ off?

Thanks
