Re: Playing in the Blinds: Trap Hands
Yeah I see what you mean about these hands, can be hard to play OOP after loads of loose limpers. You have to raise fairly big if you wanna raise, but if the limpers are loose you often end up in a 3 way + pot OOP on the flop with the pot being 20 BB+ already... not nice.
I can check 99 and KQ here, maybe even TT but I raise the rest. This is because JJ can hit a favourable flop often (e.g. one or no overs). Raising AQ really punishes people who will call with a weaker ace, plus A high with Q kicker can sometimes be the best hand by the river (whereas king high rarely is, as with KQ). I hate KQ in this situation. I have tried both raising and checking with it here, but both options dont seem great [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].
