In summary
1. NEVER limp when it is folded to you. either raise or fold. from any position.
2. Play ONLY the top 8% of cards from early position. this is pocket pairs 88+, ATs+, AJo+ and KQs. THATS IT!!!!!
3. gradually loosen this range up until you are the loosest on the button. this means RAISING not limping.
4. Play very tight from the small blind. only limp with hands like suited connectors, low-mid pocket pairs. hands that can make a set or better. fold all non connected high card hands, ESPECIALLY hands like A7. once again, the overwhelming majority of hands should be a raise or fold.
5. look for spots to raise in late position. this way you have position, and you have the initiative in the hand, which makes it hard to play.
Hey guys, this is my first post in a while. There are a couple of thing that you need to elaborate on benny the cunt. Firstly
2. Play ONLY the top 8% of cards from early position. this is pocket pairs 88+, ATs+, AJo+ and KQs. THATS IT!!!!!
This range is WAYYYYY to wide in early position, firstly its all chip stack and weather its full ring or 6 max dependant. your range in early position unless you have less then say 15 - 20 BB's should be AQs + AA KK QQ thats it, playing KQs and A10s in early position you are asking for trouble. What do you do when someone 3 bets in positon when you have KQs, you cant realistically call and your turning your hand into a bluff if you 4 bet.
4. Play very tight from the small blind. only limp with hands like suited connectors, low-mid pocket pairs. hands that can make a set or better. fold all non connected high card hands, ESPECIALLY hands like A7. once again, the overwhelming majority of hands should be a raise or fold.
I disagree with this. while its good to have a tight range in the SB, its all player dependant. if the villian on the BB is folding more then 80% to a SB raise its +ev to raise any two especially if he never 3 bets in position. you only have to beat 1 other person and you steal the blinds which can be important in the later stages of a MTT or SNG.
i dont recommend limping in the small blind unless you have a monster AA KK AK AQ because say for instance you limp in the SB with 77 and you get raised you still are not getting odds to hit your set if you call. My advice would be omit limping with small to med pockets for set value either raise them or fold them if you AND you opponant have less then 50 BB's (this holds true to all positions) any questions??
