Re: KQo in EP
[ QUOTE ]
If someone wants to isolate me when my bottom range of raising is AJo or KQo, good luck. People that do this tend to really pay off well when I do have a hand.

Bernie my man, I find we all play well when we really have a hand. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It's the 3/4ths of the time you don't have one that my TT's will give you gas with your raising range.

Your problem likely lies in lack of postflop play with the hands. If someone is constantly isolating you, you adjust to them. It's not a good idea to isolate a 'thinking' TAG.

Thank you for helping me identify my "problem", although that's not why I posted. And as my post stated, I did adjust; Instead of always raising pre flop, I started c/r more so when the flop hit with TPGK , it tends to be the best hand into unraised pots. I still trap weaker players for extra bets, as well as increase the amount of c/r I do over the course of an evening, which I feel is an excellent way to slow down overly aggressive players. I don't get stuck trying to figure out how to proceed with a group 4 hand (HEPAP)out of position with a raiser and potentially strong callers behind me.
Well, I'm done with this topic. As someone else stated, the volume of different opinions on this topic reflect the complexity of this situation.I think AJo and KQo are the AK's of the future. Whiffing with them after you have
bumped the pot raises some of the same questions, but the answers are more difficult because the hands are fundementaly weaker. Perhaps we can agree on that.
