Re: Top Pair vs. Loose Raiser
What does he think about you?
You said this guy plays passively preflop. Does this mean he wouldn't raise AK for value on the button?
If I know this type, 3-betting is pretty different from...

Re: Abomination of a hand chart
The weaker suited broadways are often still good to raise in LP, as are A9s-A8s. Why do you have no category Rn? I definitely raise behind 4-5 limpers in a loose live game even with KTs, but...

No, with 3 limpers in front of you it is time to RAISE AJo. Odds are that you are ahead and domination is not that big a factor in multi-way pots.

Re: limping in with 84 suited
Something else to think about:
Another thing you're doing when you play lower suited connectors is mixing it up. When you have hands like KQo or KTs in a good proportion to hands like 76s,...

Re: 2 preflop dilemas from BB
RAAAAAAYYYYYYZZZZ!
On the turn, hard to say. Should throw some c/rs in there so that you also get some OOP free cards. Bet out with a baby turn, of course, especially a 5.

Re: Classic WAWB?
After the turn, CO knows what you have. If you're commonly folding to river check/raises, watch out. "Waking up" to c/r with 88, say, makes a lot more sense for him than just betting one more time.

Re: 2 preflop dilemas from BB
1) Calling in the SB against a single raiser is a bad play, period. Yes, you should 3-bet it against a likely steal attempt. With this guy's numbers, you might even 3-bet an EP raise, but folding...

Re: Playing medium pocket pairs from the blinds
In your header, you refer to "medium pocket pairs" in general, but against various ranges I use to analyze SS loose limpers, there are major gaps in multiway equity between TT and 99, 99 and 88, 88...

Re: Hot Seat = Variance?
What about a hot rotator fairy, that moves forward one seat each hand?
This is just as likely to come up, but far less likely to be noticed by the human brain. That's the point.

Re: cold calling / good multiway hands
Yeah, this is very close to my range, except that I'd be more inclined to get away from small pairs and to go with the 1-gappers mentioned by James. My thinking is that small pairs suffer both ways...

Re: Simple Question: Flopping a Straight
That's not a probability, since it's >1. If you mean the number of straight hands, it's pretty easy. 10 different ranks of straights, times 4^5 suit choices (4^5 - 4 if you want to exclude straight...
