Re: Cold-calling w/ small pocket pairs preflop?
SSH is like a comfortable diaper. Go ahead and use those guidelines until you establish a comfort level and confidence in your preflop play. Then start to forget SSH once you feel good enough to discard the diaper and go on what you've learned through your own experience and play. If you keep playing and growing, you'll get there and the freedom you get from that release is pretty nice. At least it was for me.

Re: Cold-calling w/ small pocket pairs preflop?
I think a lot of people generally here by default raise 99 because it has the equity advantage, and they feel comfortable playing it post-flop. If you limp in a tough game, you are asking to get isolated.

Re: Cold-calling w/ small pocket pairs preflop?
Hand two is a call, second time around! You put in 2SB into a 10SB pot. To make up for your 2SB pf investment, you need to collect 10BB postflop, subtract the size of the pot, leaves 5BB yet to make postflop. Easy. Even if you assume it to get capped, that doesn't change.

fret how is my math wrong? Buzz [/ QUOTE ] I don't think it's wrong, it's just that sets don't win always. So taking 8.5:1 is a bit generous, imho. But I think we agree on the "broad picture". [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

raising 99 from early position is right then? SSH says thats only possible in loose games... well, it was a loose game anyways. [/ QUOTE ] 99 does really well in multiway pots and headsup. Where you want to limp with it in EP is when raising is probably get the pot 4 handed or so. I don't really want to raise if I'm likely to be 3 handed OOP against fairly knowledgable players either.

Re: Cold-calling w/ small pocket pairs preflop?
Here are a few links from shillx who always has great advice on hands like the 3rd hand where hero holds a pair of nines.
If you click on the 2nd link I created and scroll down you will see this little bit of advice... [ QUOTE ] If you limp with them, you should call all raises behind you. [/ QUOTE ]
