Re: Medium Pairs and Marginal Broadway Hands - To Raise or Not to Rais
Hijack is the first steal spot. I've taken to using pretty much my UTG rage through the hijack with a couple of exceptions. For example, I'll play AQo from MP but not from EP as a general rule. Once I hit the hijack, I play everything for a raise and start to expand my range as I move towards the button. In the hijack, I start to play more middle suited connectors like 9Ts, TJs and QJs. I'll also play more suited broadway cards. I'll also start working in some middle suited A's. Maybe down to A8s depending on the table. I raise all of those. The only time I limp is if I have a tweener sort of drawing hand and there are a few limpers in front of me. Even then, I limp very rarey. That's just the way I roll.
