200NL live: play along with the nl noob, AJo
Brand new to table. Hero's fourth hand dealt.
Seems like typical 1-2 blinds, lots of limping. First limper has biggest stack. Short read is a loose player who doesn't like to fold. Can't tell yet whether he is lag, but likely a calling station/trapper who is hot tonight. Player in hijack is thinking player. Likely to be the most aggressive at the table. I figure he plays online and is at least semi-regular at the room. He has over $300. Button and blinds seem like average players. Hero is dealt AJo in CO with $180 stack. Preflop(8 players): fold,limp,limp,limp,<font color="red">Hero ? </font> <font color="blue">Some discussion on preflop would be great. Is this an easy raise and why? How much? And how would you respond to a new player raising this preflop with position on you? I had just flopped a draw from the button and ditched it to a big turn bet, only hand I played.</font> |

raise for isolation/value/etc. I like these hands because
-there is little chance of domination based on pf thus far. -TPTK live = nuts -isolate down to maybe 2-3 players. Multiway, AJo isn't that great. I would raise to $16. |

I realize this preflop is elementary, but my greatest fear switching to NL is getting playable hands in the first couple orbits. What I fail to realize sitting at the table is: Nobody has a read on me either! |

absolutely raise hands like this in position in a loose/passive game. Ajo is not the best multi-way hand and a lot of the time you will see any callers check/folding most flops with a cbet.

Hero is dealt AJo in CO with $180 stack.
Preflop(8 players): fold,limp,limp,limp,Hero calls,button folds, blinds come along. Flop(6 players/$12): 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Check,check,check,check,<font color="red">villain bets $15,Hero ?</font> <font color="blue">So I limped preflop with a hand that plays poorly multiway. I know better. Kind of makes for a lousy playalong, but it does get interesting on the flop. TPTK! How do you react to the lead from villain?</font> |
