Default Re: More about position

[ QUOTE ]
In a 10 player table, usually at least one person has premium cards in preflop. If the round is indeed folded to me, then, itīs likely that some one behind me holds those premium cards.

This conclusion is wrong. Just because several have folded already does not make it more likely for someone behind you to have a premium holding. The people in front could have folded Ax and Kx hands, making it less likely for someone behind to hold AK.

If you are in MP and it's folded to you, you might fold hands you would have played with limpers (hands that require multyway action), but you should lower your raising standards, esp if the players behind you are tight. You might raise KJ 1st in, if you're lucky they fold AT or AJ.

Conclusion: I should play only with a premium hand if there has been no action before me?

If your conclusion would be correct you should never play anything worse than AJs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] .
