Default Re: Limit Hold \'Em Crash Course?

1. Never open-limp. Rarely be the first player to over limp.

2. Opening Standards: These are tighter than what most good LAGTAGs would play, but have been tightened because you won't know how to play well postflop.
EP: AQo+, AJs+, KQs+, 99+.
3off: AJo+, ATs+, KQo, KJs+, QTs+, 77+.
HJ: ATo, A8s+, KJo, KTs+, JTs+, KJo+, 66+.
CO: A8o+, A6s+, KTo+, K8s+, T9s, QJo+, 55+.
BTN: A5o+, A3s+, K9o+, K6s+, QTo+, Q8s+, 98s+, T9o+, 44+.
SB(you can complete here too): Any ace, K5o+, K2s+, Q8o+, Q6s+, J7o+, J6s+, T6o+, T5s+, 86o+, 75s+, 65o+, 54s+.

3. Never be the first player to cold call. 3-bet or fold. This includes being in the SB. There are exceptions, but you won't go wrong playing this way.

4. After raising preflop, always C-bet heads up on the flop, most of the time 3-4 handed.

5. When defending your big blind, you should be defending a wider-range than you're used to than in NL. Check-raise your draws and top pair or better(mid pair as well depending on. Fire turn and river. Check-call your marginal hands down, esp. if your opponent's range look weak(no ace on board, raised for BTN or CO).

6. Value bet thinly.(This is harder, but you really need to value bet 2nd often)

7. I'll offer to table-sweat off and on while working tonight. PM YO!
