Default Re: opening hands from SB for short hand newbie

I am not saying 72s getting 5:1 is +EV in general. So I dont know either.

I mentioned in another thread debating with Wunderkind that calling suited junk getting 5:1 in the SB or BB against a raise has made me ~300BBs so far. That could be variance of course, but so far I am pretty happy with the results. (500k hands DB BTW). Actually my results are substantially better in the BB against a raise and a caller than in the SB against 1 limper!!

So again, whether 72s is +EV or -EV getting 5:1 is close IMO and I am not claiming its +EV despite positive results so far. But folding Q6s as Sethypooh would do is WAY to tight!

With two limpers I complete all suited cards, with one limper it depends on the opposition but I tend to fold some of the weakest suited hands there like 27s. I want some highcard-strength or connectiveness (is that a word) to feel comfortable playing against 2 opponents.

I have no idea whats EV+, and I think thats something you should decide for yourself. For some it's probably EV+ completeing any two suited, but probably not for everyone.

I would often raise Q6s from SB against a limping BTN. Do you think thats way to aggresive?
