A few pretty basic hands that I think I\'m playing wrong. feedback?
 

All hands take place in .25/.50 and are all pretty standard tables for those levels. (loose/passive) I do not have a very huge database on the players I am against and I would say that no one in these hands has more than 300-500 hands put in, so realistically readless. assume that the players are typical unless otherwise stated.

ok, cool. I had just finished a massive disect of my PT database, followed by a re-read of SSH and found alot of hands like this. I was not sure if limping these 66- hands in EP was standard here.

I also found alot of missed value in these hands that should have been pealed and were not.

thanks for the afirmtion [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] heres to renewed vigor!

Re: A few pretty basic hands that I think I\'m playing wrong. feedback?
 

I have studied all that stuff, and have a ton of info around the old poker den. But a lot of these hands are in the kinda gray area. (i am in the full ring section yes?)

I just found that I was getting myself into an autopilot sort of headspace and wanted to really re-afirm that what I was doing PF was the right line.

just to clearify, I made all the same plays that were suggested. hence the affirmation. It's kinda like a "am I flying this plane in the right direction" sorta thing?

Doh. You are stabbing at me. I dont deserve this [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Edit: LOL. Last hand? I would bet/3bet/fold here, of course.
Editedit: Nah. Bet/3bet/call is better, I says. DUCY?

Re: A few pretty basic hands that I think I\'m playing wrong. feedback?
 

1 - limp
2 - limp
3 - raise
4 - raise
5 - raise
6 - raise/call. You have odds on the flop to call for your gutshot/BDFD

Well, we do have a raise/call idea for the last hand. NIX, are we freecarding this, or what?

I was unclear. Raise/call was preflop. Call for the flop. i.e. I agree with everyone who is sane in this thread.

Re: A few pretty basic hands that I think I\'m playing wrong. feedback?
 

Apparently I'm playing too tight preflop, as I generally fold small pairs in EP, and often MP first in. I thought you needed four or five players to make these hands worth the preflop investment, and there's no way to be sure that will happen from EP.

I know the OP says loose passive tables, but I haven't seen many of those at .25/.50 on FTP, or my definition of loose passive is off. The tables I'm seeing are typically 25% VPIP on average, with 8-12% PFR, which means most hands are raised PF.

Should I be limping these hands preflop, or am I folding correctly?

Re: A few pretty basic hands that I think I\'m playing wrong. feedback?
 

With my answers, I was assuming much softer tables than the ones you describe RT. If your FT tables are typically 3 to the flop for 2 bets or something similar, I wouldn't limp small pairs in EP either.

aha even the insane arent disagreeing here

Re: A few pretty basic hands that I think I\'m playing wrong. feedback?
 

oh jesus! your tables on FTP are nuts! Are they seriously that hard? The ones I pick on stars are usually 35%+ VPIP, and like 4-8% PFR. I will occasionally sit at a few tables like the ones you are describing. (or end up having them change to this) but then I will tighten it up a little.

25% VPIP and 10% PFR seems standard. I just finished a session where the VPIP was 30% for an hour, and it seemed loose as anything to me. I also had position on the two donks, but was a little card dead.

I may have to look into moving some money to stars. My game selection has been restricted to FTP since the Neteller collapse. What's the standard deposit method nowadays?

Isn't it a bit risky to raise AJo UTG or is not raising to passive?

It's more or less a coin-flip. In more aggresive games it's an auto-raise, in very loose-passive games with many cold-callers, a raise isn't bad, but it loses some of it's value (which, with AJ is to a relatively large extend: thinning the field).

AJo pf is close though raising is the best default.
