Re: just shoot me now
Victor,
I didn't. In the scenario listed and in games where the sb re raises with a lot more frequency and bb defends well then trimming back the weaker hands that you open from the button makes sense. Problem is in the game listed unticking auto post blind and leaving the game also makes sense. If the players don't defend their blinds properly or have large weaknesses in their post flop play which you can greatly exploit especially with position you should probably open as many hands as possible on the button and I think this falls into that category. I checked my pt stats and I show a profit with Q6s and Q5s (although the latter is at 5/T and lower) on the button and while its a small sample size I like to get involved in as many situations as I can on the button. Pokerbob's point was with an unknown bb we should probably fold this hand but player knowledge is probably more important with weak aces and small pocket pairs ie hands that can legitimately make a showdown without improvement and getting post flop play correct with these holdings is quite difficult and often relies on specific player reads and the ability to correctly pick off our opponents bluffs.
I understand my post may have come off a little arrogant saying irrespective of what you say im playing it anyway but what I really meant was what i've said above.
If a hand can turn a profit on the button and I think Q6s can in the games I choose to play, I'm running it.
