if ive got a marginal hand and i'm gonna play it from the button, i will be raising.

but i guess that doesnt need to be said to anyone [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Cool, makes sense. I was probably looking too deep into the statement.

[limon]

well what i meant is the button affords you the opprtunity to win 2 ways hit or steal. when you limp you have to hit and when you limp w/ something like 45s you often hit UNDER someone else which is awful. when you limp w/ kqs you often hit on top of someone else which is good. remember when a pot is limped everyone is drawing to hit the nuts and often times someone does, so why limp to a loser?

ive said this many times. most who read SS misunderstood the chapter on small suited connectors. they are to be played in a raised pot in position. if no one else has done the raising you got to do it for yourself.

RE: #7...a more accurate statement would be calling raises in dominated situations. against a solid/thinking player you should almost always re-raise or fold. calling for "implied odds" doest work here because they wont pay you off any more than you will pay them off.
RE: #3...there are times when it it right to massively overbet but they are rare.

heres a tidbit...the closer you can get to knowing your opponents exact two hole cards the closer you can get to playing any 2 hole cards.

While I think your advice is 100% accurate against good opponents it is probably less accurate in some of the very loose games out there.

come on we don't need you to disagree with limon when he decides to post for once in blue moon.. he is one of most knowledgeble/experienced NL player on the boards...if you are gonna disagree, clearly state your arguement with well thought out reasons so at least your self and others can benefit from the debate.

thanks for that elaboration on raise/fold vs solid/thinking player thing...I think I was not adjusting properly to the regulars and I think that advice would help alot.
