Default Microposter needs to open up preflop.

Microposter lacks correct preflop play. Picking up KQo and QJs UTG should be a raise.

Pick up Kxs when it's folded to you in LP? Raise it up. Axs? Limp that ish unless you are playing at a tight game in which case you should seriouslsy consider switching up tables.

I just glanced briefly at the session, and microposter's preflop needs a little help. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I also saw a fold on the button with Ax when it was folded around. That baffles me.

Am I missing the QJs raise up front? Not part of my repatoire (sp?), I usually limp. All the other recommendations I agree with. Do you auto-raise QJs up front or only at loosey-goosey Party parties?

I agree. But apparently, they ran some hand simiulations, and raising is +ev compared to the ol' limperoo.

Well QJs plays well multiway so I don't care if theres a bunch of cold-callers. I just think being the preflop aggresor when we are OOP gives us leverage for the rest of the hand.

(Hand 5) One off the CO K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero limps. Only one person has entered the pot...and he has a vpip of 50. I really want to raise this, try to buy the Button, and if we're lucky, isolate our lone limper.

It was an UTG limp and the 50/0/X is over a whopping 4 hand sample.

Limping here is fine, but come on at least bet an A92r flop when everyone checks to you.

Got it...number in () is over how many hands. Ok, there goes a big part of my argument. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I limp QJs, JTs UTG. I raise KQo.

I would also raise KTs on the CO with 1 limper (I don't give UTG limps credit since he probably doesn't know what the button is).
