Like the 6th hand, Villan has been pretty solid, nothing out of the ordinary yet.

Call? why don't raise ?

he/she win with: 22, 44, KK, AA, AK

i don't think he is playing premium like KK, AA, AK.

i don't understand the raise preflop with 53s? can someone explain this too ??

[ChicagoRy]

What is he going to call with here if you shove?

You're forgetting hands like A2 and A4. It's early, I've seen people limp AK, KK and AA. Those are hands that you cannot tell by the 6th hand, regardless if they have limped or raised their button or checked their bb, how they play them preflop.

And 53s is a good raising hand on the button, it's early and you're deepstacked, it has a ton of drawing potential and a lot of equity when you hit against an A (flush and straights). It's also fairly deceptive against the average opponent, a "dry" flop like x53.

Ok! i understood, thx.

If we change this hand to cash, is the same play ?

[ChicagoRy]

Preflop raise I'd imagine would be the same. I think it would be the same though, depending on how stacks worked out and your specific reads on villain. 6th hand into cash pretending you're 75 bb deep here in cash instead of husng, I think it plays out the same way, but let a cash guy chime in to double check.
