Default Quick preflop quiz calling EP raises from the blinds

Hand 1: UTG+1 raises, 1 coldcall, SB (a 2+2er) 3-bets, your action with KQo in the BB?

Hand 2: LAGish UTG raises, coldcalled in 3 spots to you in the SB with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Your action?

Hand 3: Loose raising UTG raises, coldcalled in MP and from the CO-1. Folded to you in the BB with A9o. Your action?

Okay, some hypotheticals about calling EP raises in the blinds against standard, bad low-limit opposition with 2 coldcallers.

In the SB: 87s? How low for suited connectors? KJs/KTs/QJs/AJo/ATo? How low Axs, Axo, Kxs, Kxo?

In the BB: 87s? How low for suited connectors? KJs/KTs/QJs/AJo/ATo? How low Axs, Axo, Kxs, Kxo?

1. I fold.
2. If his raises are laggish, I'll call it. Sets me up for a badass flop check-raise if I flop a flush draw.
3. I fold.

Hypotheticals:
SB - I'm fairly tight here, I think T9s might be my cutoff, but I'm open to opinions. I probably dump the offsuit hands you listed and call the suited ones. Probably call down to A9s, not sure about the offsuit Aces, about K9s (though now that I realize it, I just said I'd call K6s above, though there's one more cold caller.... so who knows..) and virtually no offsuit kings.

BB - I'm getting better odds and probably closing the action, so probably down to 67s or so here. Most suited aces and kings. Though I'm overall not sure about the offsuit aces and kings, I'd like to see some opinions on those.

Great, blind defense is something I'm pretty sketchy on.

1: I muck here. KQs I'd probably call and hope for the best.

2: Call.

3: Fold. Good chance I'm dominated, maybe even 2 ways (higher ace, big pair).

SB: Suited connectors 67+ and suited broadway. Any suited ace and king.

BB: Any 2 suited.

FYI in hand 2 there were five cold callers with lagish BB to act behind me.

hand 1: fold, you are prolly dominated or destryed

hand 2: call, good odds, a bunch of people in the pot to pay a flush when it hits. [EDIT: I did not realize this was in the SB. In SB this is a fold]

hand 3: fold - a potentially dominated hand is not worth playing despite the good odds you are getting. You are bound to loose monay on this hand if an ace flops.


in the sb: KTs - yes A9s - yes AQ - yes
KQo - yes QTs - yes

in the bb: KQs-87s - yes QJs-Q9s - yes
Axo lower than AQ - big nono KQo - yes KJs-K9s - yes

Man this strikes me as incredably loose play. I especially think that you need to be from the SB. I am not sure about this though. Maybe I am too tight.

I hope someone else can either support or rip what I just said.

cheers

1) Fold, I'd have to hit and not get an ace to be comfortable, and even then I couldn't push hard without a scary good hand.

2) Fold. I'd barely play it anyway

3) Fold, this hand is too manyway to hold onto it.

SB: With three in I'd hold onto 87s and up, Also any two T+ suited and AJo but drop ATo. I'd play any Axs but toss ATo or lower and all Kx except KTs and better

BB: Almost identical but I might hang on to 76s, AT, and play Kxs. In the BB I'd also be inclined to reraise any suited connector 98s and up, AJs or KJs+. If the opponents are truly terrible (the sort to raise any pair and any ace, or to call a raise with any normal calling hand) then I might reraise with AJo or better knowing that if I hit my ace I've likely got far and away the best hand, probably if I hit top pair with my kicker as well.

1. Easy fold

2. Easy fold, in BB I'd call but not SB you don't get a good enough discount here.

3. Easy call, a laggish player could bet anything and A9o isn't that bad especially at a big discount.

In SB against an early raise and only 2 callers I probably would play T9s but not 87s. Any Axs and A8o,KTs K9o.

In BB 76s Axs Axo Kxs K9o

Like I said, make it the whole table and my play is unchanged.

1. Fold
2. call
3. fold


From the BB with a raise and (2) cold callers, I would play Axs, any (2) suited cards above 10, no gap suited connectors down to 65, Would not play any off suit ace below AQ (althoug I guess sometimes I would with AJo, but that is a leak for me.), I would probably play any Kxs.
I would probably not play any offsuit kings although I would probably play KQo (maybe), but nothing lower.
