easy PF ?

[wackjob]

8/16 6-max game: Most of the table is your average poor-avg online player. the one other decent player at the table is not in this hand.

2 players limp in, I have 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the SB

is this worth completing when I'm nearly certain BB won't raise?

In this situation I complete with most hands that have three cards 9+.

i think it depends on if you're a good post-flop player or not.

REALLY? Even with no low? That surprises me, but I'm interested in hearing you expound upon that. I'm usually the opposite. I don't complete unless I've got two each way.

High only hands can definately show a profit at limit o8.

I also usually complete with any 2 wheel cards. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Interesting.....with only a high hand, you have to play much more cautiously post-flop if the low is out - eh? That's my problem. I don't know how to get out of high-only nut draws when the low is in play and I'm OOP with only a high play. Maybe as I gain more experience, I'll be able to complete more high-only draws too!

You said it in your post--you get out. You only want to play a high only hand if low is impossible, which happens more frequently than one might think. Since limping high-only hands is so cheap and it's very easy to determine the likelyhood of low being possible (100%, 75%, 25%, 0%) on the flop, high ony draws are relatively easy to play--ie drop the draw in the 75-100% scenarios, play it in the 25-0% scenarios.

One should drop lots of high holdings on low boards--nut flush draws, wrap straight draws, top two pair, and hell, sometimes even made straights. This is all, of course, dependant upon pot odds, situation, etc.

what do you think would be a good flop for this hand? how about a bad one?

Seems only playable heads-up or on the button in my opinion.

I think the problem with this hand is that you are only going to play for the high except in rare instances. However, getting good odds to see a flop cheap with decent high possibilities in a SH game, I don't know. A 9-hi flush can definately hold up in a flop with only 4 players, as can hands like Top2
