Re: Discussion: Common preflop situations
 

Hand #1: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO raises to $2, Button calls, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

I'd raise to $10, CO and button's range is pretty wide here.

Hand #2: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO calls, 1 fold, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Standard raise to $2, but it can get tricky post flop, I'd hope to take it down with a CB.

Hand #3: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO raises to $2, 2 folds, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

I'd probably 50% raise here to $6, because we have a pretty solid hand, and 50% call because we're OOP for the rest of the hand.

Hand #4: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG raises to $2, folds around, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Call and see the flop hopefully with a 9, or at least no AKQJ.

Hand #5: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="red"> Hero? </font>

I'd fold.

Hand #6: Hero is CO with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
1 fold, MP calls, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Raise to $2, MP seems weak and I have position.

Hand #7: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 1 fold, CO calls, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

I don't know here, I'd sometimes fold, call or raise with calling being the worst, since I don't indicate any strength and that makes it harder to take with a CB on the flop.

Hand #8: Hero is Button with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
1 fold, MP raises to $2, 1 fold, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Sometimes call, sometimes fold. Fold more than call.

Pot size reraise sounds good.

Hand #2: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO calls, 1 fold, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Complete.

Call.

UTG raises to $2, folds around, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Call.

Hand #5: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Raise to $2.

Hand #6: Hero is CO with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
1 fold, MP calls, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Raise to $2.50, try to buy the button and get position on this hand.

Hand #7: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 1 fold, CO calls, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Call, try not to get involved in a big pot postflop if you hit your ace. Against tougher players, you might let this go, but here I think seeing a flop is okay.

Hand #8: Hero is Button with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
1 fold, MP raises to $2, 1 fold, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>

Call here, try to outplay MP after the flop.

Folds on most tables, sometimes raises, sometimes minraises, sometimes calls, hope this helps.

Pretty read dependant really. Without reads ill probably tend towards folding this. If I found CO trying to steal my blind regularly then ill play back.

Call without reads, if UTG and CO have a high VPIP and are folding to raises a lot then ill make it $3.

Fold.

Re: Discussion: Common preflop situations
 

I raise to 7.5 most times but sometimes just flat call.

II call, i don't like fd oop but since it is to the ace I will limp. I will raise this now and again but usually because I think CO is weak.

III Without reads I call most of the time. I raise to 5.5 once in a while and fold sometimes but those decisions are based on reads. I am not a big fan of AJ these days and even when suited I am dubious oop and HU but it seems worth a call.

IV Call (I used to raise this more often but I notice the people have become a bit more positionally aware in their pf play)

V I will fold, limp (gasp!) and raise to 2 in roughly equal measure.

VI Raise to 2.5

VII Raise to 3 or fold in about equal measure depending on my table image atm and looseness of blinds. If I just sat down with a whole table of unknowns I let this one go unless I feel extra frisky.


VIII call about 2/3 and raise to 5.5 about 1/3.

Re: Discussion: Common preflop situations
 

1. reraise to 7$
2. call (not sure about this. maybe a leak)
3. reraise to 7$ (read dependent. sometimes fold)
4. call
5. fold - bet about 70/30 %
6. raise to 2.5$
7. raise to 2.5$ (
8. call

Re: Discussion: Common preflop situations
 

pineapple888, don`t you think that min. raising 66 there gives to much info away ? People could put you on a small pp everytime you only min raise there.

Regarding 67s your completely right. I said call earlier, but with BB still behind to call and being out out position against 2 players your right. Turbo-Muck
