Re: Discussion: Common preflop situations
A couple of common preflop situations. If you say raise, include also how much to raise to.
For all hands, assume:
50NL, 6 players
100bb stacks
No reads
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>
Raise to $8. I don’t mind taking this down preflop, seeing as I’ve got a vulnerable hand OOP. If button is calling with a weaker PP, I don’t want to give him the right odds to hit a set.
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. Implied odds are high already for the potential nut flush draw. If instead I hit a pair, I’m not going to want a large pot.
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>
Without reads, default is to call and see what develops on the flop. Sometimes I will raise to $6.
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. If the raise were from CO or Button, I’d raise to $6.
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>
Default is to raise to $2.50, but I’m OK with anything between that raise (on the high end) and overlimping. In other words, reads on the rest of the table really make the decision.
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>
Overlimp.
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>
Fold.
