6max starting hands (good discussion of PF and post flop play)

i think OP should play AJs UTG if he is playing KQs UTG though, and also raise all PPs UTG.

I agree with this. Although AJ and AT is table dependent for me. They both get played back at by better hands and can be expensive, so I only do this when players are tight and I know that the RR means AQ+, 99+ and I don't end up folding to a worse hand too often.

preflop is like a blank canvas of a painting and the cards and actions you choose begin to create the artwork and then by the river you have painted a great portrait of what you want your opponent to see based on all the actions that were taken during the creation of the painting. poker is a group effort at painting a picture for you to use to your advantage. something like that, although I feel I've failed to explain what I really mean.

i think i know what you mean but wouldn't that require your opponent to be thinking?

uhm no not necessarily. he meant that you set up your oponent preflop for what is going to happen postflop.
e.g. if you have an opponent who always pushes the flop in 3bet pots you would sure call his 3bet pre and not 4bet.
in your preflop decisions you have to include a play for the rest of the hand

too tight in EP/MP and too loose in SB (imo)

I play atc from SB with one limper. Your UTG is too tight, you need to open up your game and raise good hands like JT more often. I also like limping big pairs from early position to confuse my opponents. I think you should also create a separate chart for minraise ranges as it is an important tool in our arsenal and requires some thought.

Ok people suck at 25NL but i still think they take AQo before KQs.
