Default Re: FLO8 - Pre-flop play from Blinds

Life isn't black & white. I'm describing a game mainly TAG pre-flop, but on flop players are somewhat loose / somewhat passive; with some loose-passive and some weak-tight.

If you just look at the cards in isolation against a 'typical opponent', it's clear what the normal play is.

But as UTG in 1) is a Maniac (and good value); and in 2) BB is a tricky, clever, skillful LAG type player, I'm arguing to reverse the 'rote' decision.

The problem with these forums (any poker forum) if you post hands, the cards, stacks etc become prominent and the situational ppl stuff is not seen or discussed.

It's why I hesitate to post hand-histories...

Furthermore often there's a cross purpose argument, all based on different understandings of typical games and opponents.
