SSNL Common Spots #1

[Johan L]

I can't get raising to be more profitable for me. Have experimented and reviewed my database over and over. Though I am extremely tight (~13/5/2), people don't respect my C-bets. On the other hand are my double barrel C-bets effective but I hate variance so I call here. It might still be a medium size pot when 60/5 connects with his Axs on a 822 rainbow flop. Hate to play raised 99 on a Jxx flop, but thats me and something I know I have to deal with someday.

Can anyone show me winning stats with SC's for a decent sample size? (dont mean this to sound like an [censored])
I find them often overflushed in big pots.
The straights are nice but fragile.

I admit that my postflop skills are mediocre...

[Jigsaws]

1) AJo - raise
2) A4o - fold
3) K5s - fold
4) 99 - raise
5) 76s - fold, maybe complete
6) J8o - fold
7) 73o - fold

I'm surprised at the number of people who are completing. I really dislike ending up OOP, so I tend to be nearly as tight from the SB as from UTG.

Anyone want to comment on Button's range here? I think a limp on the button from a 15/10 player is pretty unusual. I usually think it is a implied odds hand or an attempt to hide something big. Is this a reasonable range: AA,TT-22,A2s+,K8s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T8s+,97s+,86s+,75s+,65s,54s

Stack sizes:
UTG: $110.65
UTG+1: $265.45
CO: $114.20
Button: $186.30
Hero: $98.50
BB: $128.15

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, Button calls,

UTG+1 is a loose 60/5 callstation donkey. Button is a 15/10 multitabler and plays reasonably well postflop. BB is a 9/3 nit.

What do you do with

1) AJo - Raise
2) A4o - Fold
3) K5s - Call
4) 99 - Raise
5) 76s - Call
6) J8o - Fold
7) 73o - Fold

OK, so the vast majority think 99 is a raise. What is the smallest pair you guys would raise with here?

[NewUser2006]

Why are you guys raising AJo? Seems like a big time spew to me.
