thats awful.

also, you need to add some other stuff pronto or you will get destroyed in bigger games. scs lower pps etc.

Re: TAG UTG raising standards for high stakes NL
 

how about:
45s 56s 67s 78s 15%

PS: lapoker, what do you sugest for AA? 50% seemed good no?
I myself raise only maybe 25% of times, as in full ring games, I like to call and reraise a lot to trap them all [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i think this is a common misconception. I have played extremely nitty sometimes shorthanded and people just do not give a flying [censored].

My range would efinitely be wider than Lyric's but I don't think its true that it has to be as wide as it seems you are insinuating.

I don't play full ring.

one of many problems i have with this is that i somehow doubt you are also limp reraising with scs and otheer hands thus allowing your opponents to play perfectly against you.

do a search - there was a thread a few months back about limp reraising. quite simply, it is rare that it is the best play.

Such as?

Re: TAG UTG raising standards for high stakes NL
 

The other hands depend on the table. With very loose players behind me, I may even openlimp 22-66 and suited connectors/suited Aces [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

With rocks behind me, I'll open any suited Ace and suited connectors/one-gappers probably down to 75s.

I don't get why you're smiling about playing face up with Aces.

Re: TAG UTG raising standards for high stakes NL
 

I almost never play full ring, but even when I do, I hate the idea of limp-reraising. I just don't like the play at all unless you can reraise all-in without it being an overbet. It's fine if you're playing like 20 BB stacks, but with standard 100+, I think it's a horrible play, even if you "mix it up" and limp-reraise trash sometimes too.
