What hands are you raising in EP that you fold to a re-raise?

[/ QUOTE ]

AJ/AQ/KQ/SCs/22-99

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm, I don't raise SC's in EP. Agreed on KQ-AJ-AQ. About the small pairs: with $100 stacks, you raise to $4, 35/18 re-raises to $10, do you auto-fold? If not, what is the most important: bet size / opponent's postflop play / position / something else?

In 6-max I am raising but generally folding to a 3-bet (if the re-raiser hasn't been getting out of line): small pocket pairs, KQs, AJ,AQ. LAGs who have a wider raising range in EP would have more hands they are laying down I would think, as Dan Bitel's response seems to suggest.

Do you realize how retarded that is?

Good example of the counterproductive hostility that we're talking about. This is the kind of thing that I think warrants a 1-day ban.

It's possible to have vigorous & empassioned debate without insulting people. It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

Good point: I wouldn't generally fold if it isn't a reasonably sized 3-bet. In your example, definitely not. I would decide based on opponent tendencies/recent history and on stack sizes compared to size of the raise but being OOP makes me reluctant to call (say) a ~pot sized raise without good reason. If he 3-bets light I'd rather fold or 4-bet than call.

Actually the SCs and PPs might be callable if everything goes just right: relative position, multiway-ness & stack sizes. But 99.5% of the time, they are a fold.

Example of possible raise-call:

FTP NL100, $200 stacks all around. Hero is UTG with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], raises to 4. UTG+1 raises to 8, everyone calls. Here a call is OK. I'm not sure where a push or re-raise fits EV-wise compared to a call...

I'm kinda surprised you guys would play 76s in EP. Might just be me nitting it up, but I really hate drawing hands OOP.

76s is my favorite hand, actually. I won't open with it 100% of the time from UTG, but I would guess that I can open with it about 80% of the time. It depend on stacks & images, both yours & thiers.

Edit to add that there is no shame in folding 76s from UTG. It's hard to play OOP postflop.

Is there any chance you could give me an idea of your winrate with 76s, 78s, 89s UTG and UTG+1 vs LP? I'm really interested in this, as I always assumed I'd be losing a lot of money playing those hands there. Might depend on whether you're playing in a 19/6 or 45/12 game too.

Well I'm at work, don't have PT here. I'm not even sure my sample size would be sufficient, but when I get home I'll try and remember.
