Is this basic?

opponents unknown

UTG limps, folds to Button who raises, you do what with 44 in the small blind?

I called in a similar spot last night, late in a session. Today I just folded in this spot, so obviously I played one of them wrong...

trivial call. Not close

Tryptamean · #3 10-26-2007, 09:31 PM

hm, lame, i guess im not playing well today.

Oink · #4 10-26-2007, 09:33 PM

naah not lame and prolly not trivial. Insta call for me I should have said

idk, it seems fairly close without any reads. I think I'd tend to fold 22/33, call with 55/66, and 3-bet 88 and up. 44 is fringey and could probably be swayed either way and same with 77 (call/raise).

Calling 44 and folding 33, 22 makes no sense to me. I play mostly for set value and to continue on low ragged boards like 752. I cant see the difference in 33 and 44 here.

Besides I am fairly sure that set value is enough to play any pp here

Close for me. Tight BB -> fold, loose -> call, unknown -> meh w/e.

I 3b here sometimes. I know, I'm a filthy lag. Just seems like coldcalling makes our range kinda narrow/weak whereas 3b'ing leaves it wide and allows us to drive ppl out and stuff. I also fold and coldcall sometimes too, depending on mood and specific players.

this is kind of why I posted this. last night I called towards the end of a losing session. tonight I folded at the beginning of a session where I won my first couple pots. seemed like a subtle form of tilt to do one or the other based on winning or losing at the time... if its close I guess it doesnt really matter too much
