Short and sweet ones with widespread interest are the most likely to be answered. Some will be answered on this thread. The best I will reprint on a new thread.

[/ QUOTE ] It what positions, against what type of players would you play a hand like 9JQ7ds?

Late position, unraised pot. Or calling a raise in the big blind. I'll play a bit looser if opponents are weak.

What are your standards for stealing on the button, one off the button?

David Sklansky · #5 12-19-2006, 12:42 AM

Never actully stealing. Raising with hands not quite worth calling with is fine though.

Outline what your strategy would be for no limit Omaha 8-or-better.

I am very, very, very interested in your response to this.

Is there a good reason to think about this?

If as likely any game he can find will be filled with weak-tight rocks, I'm guessing not. Of course maybe the answer is yes if they fold too much in big pots.

Question 1:
You have a good high-only hand like K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and are in a spot (like MP or shorthanded) where you could either be heads up on the flop with position or multiway on the flop OOP, do you raise to push out action or call to draw it in?

Question 2:
A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] faces a three bet cold. Assume tightish 40%/flop game, low stakes B&M, with one limper then two raisers. You are on the button.

Is this a call, raise, or fold?

If it's a fold, how many suits does it need to be a call?

Both NL O8 cash games and SnG's are prevalent on many pokersites including pokerstars (although games are rarer for obvious reasons at the high buyins). I am interested in optimal strategy here as well.
