Default Re: Q-9s -- My personal seven-deuce

People will try to tell you that if you're an excellent post-flop player, you can get away with playing these hands, but if that's true, well then I just don't know any excellent post-flop players.

I am far from an excellent postflop player, but in my last 51k 5/10 full hands I'm break-even (okay, minus $4) with Q9s. That's still only 153 instances, but I think it does show that it's a playable hand under the right circumstances and with a slight bit of postflop skill.

My VPIP with it is 45.10, PFR 18.30, with a 16.34 winning percentage. I have no idea about numbers from different positions and I'm too tired & lazy to figure out how to get that in PT. I will say that it's a standard fold for me from EP, except under specific table conditions that I mentioned above. Even then, I'll usually only play it if I'm bringing it in for a raise & hoping to just take the blinds uncontested.
