Ok, my overall game needs improving and I am looking to see if I'm playing well preflop. I played 50 hands earlier and I'll post some preflop plays and if anyone would be kind enough to comment I'd really appreciate it.
1) I'm UTG+1 with 33, UTG calls. Me? - now with low pocket pairs I usually call here, say up 22-77. Should I be raising as I find that I'm usually raised off my hand or I have to give up after the multiway flop and if i do flop a set action is usually small.
2)Ok now what about low/medium suited connectors UTG+1 with a call from UTG? call/raise/fold? Now I dont have a made hand and am in trouble if I get raised as I don't want to be playing them HUs OOP. But there's still 4 people to act behind me so I don't like raising as I find you get heads up too often and I can't extract much when I hit but then lose if I c-bet and am called/raised.
3)
Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $0.85</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB calls $0.75, Hero ????
Straight call right?
4)Ok, on the button with 89,9T or JT suited. One limper in MP with similar size stack. I usually raise here to 6xBB because I like to defend my button and he's shown no strength.
5) Similar to above but with QTs/KTs/J9s on the button and 2 limpers. With 1 gappers I'm calling here but could a raise be feasible or is there nothing really to be gained?
Ok, I know it's a lot and as I've gone through a hand history to get these I don't have any reads. If you think any of them are read dependant just say as obviously that would be a great help.
Thanks
