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>
<font color="blue">repot that holla</font>

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>
<font color="blue"> I Limp/fold this vs unknowns, if CO had a high fold to cbet, I'd raise</font>

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>

<font color="blue">grrr... I might fold this and be peeved. I like this hand in Limit, so it's hard for me</font>

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>

<font color="blue">call normally for set value, had the raise been from CO or later, I would repop this to pot/slightly under pot a large part of the time. If I know UTG was a loose raiser, I would also repop this most of the time.</font>

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>
<font color="blue">absolutely readless and no history at the table? Fold, If I haven't played a hand in a few orbits, or have shown down a monster recently, I raise to pot or 4xbb</font>

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>
<font color="blue"> usually raise this to 4xbb</font>

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>
<font color="blue"> I've been folding this... I feel like I should call though</font>

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>
