AJ,A10,KJ,KQ,etc EP

What do you guys normally do w/ these hands UTG,UTG+1,MP1 at a full table (for this arguments sake 8-10 ppl)

I fold these probably 60% raise 20% limp 20%. When blinds increase are you more or less likely to play these, and if so, how do you play them?

In a standard turbo one table tournament in the early levels.

AJ -Fold
AT - Fold
KJ -Fold
KQ - Fold

When blinds increase I may play them depending upon the situation, but usually when I play these then I will be moving all-in.



Play real tight early, make +ev pushes late when the blinds are higher.
Get SNGPT.

if it makes a difference, i am talking nonturbo

[Gelford]

I am folding those whether it is turbo of no, as blinds rise, then ... nah

.. I am still folding those ... those hands come into play when it is push/fold time and they make +EV pushes (Working with your assumption of a 'full' table)

[KPL]

I fold all except AJ which I limp or raise. I usually don't play any of these hands later in the tournament from EP, but if I do this for some reason, I raise, or push if short (AT or AJ, I almost never play any of the other hand on a full table EP)

Fold all.

You really shouldn't. AJ is not a particularly strong hand. I don't play AJ UTG even in 6-max.

The sooner you start folding ALL of these in levels 1 to 3 in early and middle position (with some minor exceptions) and late for that matter (a few more exceptions this time), the better your results will be.

This seems to be the conventional thinking. However, there is a number of exceptions that should be noted (regular vs speeds, suited vs unsuited, nature of the table, post-flop skills of the player).
