Re: quick poll -- 88 UTG+1
I think it is close, and I'm suprised so many think this is an easy raise against an unknown utg. I would like to have a read before raising, but I think it is close either way.
I would like to hear more arguments for raising. |

Re: quick poll -- 88 UTG+1
I fold until I get a read. My cutoff is 99 usually anyway, because then we start getting in to the range where we'll at least be competetive with a reasonable range.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to win at least sometimes when an utg raiser pairs his low card. If he'll raise with A8o as the bottom of his range, now he can catch an 8 and I'll still be ok. A8 is out of a lot of peoples UTG raise range though, so I cutoff at nines and realize that even then I'm usually behind the range. Also, having a blind come along and then lead a J high flop would suck - and doesoccur. I mean, how much does folding here give up really? I think I'd rather move on and find a more clearly defined edge. |
