My guess is that the WTF guy has a starting hand chart taped to his monitor, copied from a book he hasn't actually read through.

What chart says to CC 96o from the sb?

I posted a similar hand in Micro a few months ago where I was on the button with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and got a lot of the "fold preflop" responses. I had explained in the original post that I was trying to loosen up from late position as I tend to be a bit too tight all around. Is K2s better than K8s for some reason?
WTF?

K8s is a pretty easy steal raise from the button. I think you got bad advice.

Were you first to act? At a tight table? Any reads on the blinds? Need more details.

If your situation was the same as this one, then no, K8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is no worse than K2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I was shocked to think people would tell you to fold pre-flop in a similar situation in Micros. A quick search clarified that your hand was nothing like this -- you limped on the button with K6s after three limpers. And no one shouted fold preflop - two of many said something akin to "I don't play PF but this is OK" and most skipped over PF or endorsed it. WTF?
