[punter11235]

Here are position stats CTS posted some time ago (theae are old , probably like 6months or something but I really cant remember) :



24.3% raise UTG !
What are those 24.3% hands ?

Here is my guses :



So are we really supposed to play 63s and stuff UTG ?

If you don't have the skill CTS has (I assume you don't), then I wouldn't look to emulate his numbers. As your skill and knowledge of the game increases, so does your range (successfully).

People continuously want to compare there stats and match numbers. What works for some doesn't for others....

'So are we really supposed to play 63s and stuff UTG?'

You are supposed to play any hand you feel you can exploit your opponent/s with. Stop looking for set rules and guidelines within ones range.

am i misunderstanding or are u not including KJo, ATo, QJo, JTo, QTo, KTo?

There's a cts well in the SSNL forum, he talks a bit about some of his ranges. I don't think he's ever just raising with complete trash judging from what he said there.

63s is the nutsssss

Its 4k hands from UTG. Either the sentence is wrong or we dont agree on what trash is.

Why should I not emulate one of the best out there ?
I playe weakier and my understanding is lower, so what ?
Isnt setting the same flop situations the best way to try to increase those ?

I remember CTS saying that raising AToff UTG is not an option. I think it was one of those well posts.
I just try to understand whats going on. Were the games so soft that you just played all that trash ? Lagging it up and experimenting ? Please explain [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

punter: making money in poker depends on you having a type of edge on your opponent. Here are some types of edges:
1) position
2) relative skill level between you and your opponent
3) hole card strength

thats the explanation

cts raising ATo is fine, the rest of us mortals cant find the EV in hands like that

[ebarnet]

you should not emulate CTS's preflop range because you do not play like him post-flop.
