SSH starting hand recommendations

[Ed Miller]

Off-suit cards (regardless of how big they are) play poorly in multi-way pots.

Ace-king plays pretty damn well in any pot.

Yesterday I was against an opponent who was playing every hand and raising more than half of them (the raising seemed almost randome - sometimes he had a strong hand, most times it was average). How should I adjust to weak and super weak raising standards?

You should start 3-betting with a lot more hands. Ace-queen is a good place to start. But stick to big cards... speculative hands like 65s lose value when the pot is raised no matter how loose the raiser is.

Others on this forum have done the same as you and it was suggested that ed is selling books and you may want to get permission before reprinting his recommendations. I have a spreadsheet that i use and have modified over time but i added Ed's break even point for pot odds to my sheet and have found it to be invaluable.

I did think about that issue but figured I'm not making money on it - I've not sent it to anyone yet so if Ed I'll Pm ed and ask if he thinks its okay (I hope he doesnt think its a waste of his time)
