So I have this question…
When playing a TAG full-ring cash game, (say live, after limpers, but could be online) I am occasionally raising hands like 98s or 86s to balance my superior raising range, helping my genuine bigger hands to get action, otherwise I can look like and turn into a rock. Of c in position w/these hands, I’m sometimes calling limpers or a raise / though more often folding to a raise.
But my query is: if I am the opener, raising with 98s and I’m called, do we think it’s profitable to continue on flush boards and – say hit our flush on turn or river? Or do villains’ calling ranges too often easily include hands like KQs or Q10s or A7s of the same suit? Obv making straights is less of an issue. Perhaps the open itself is misguided. It’s mostly worked out pretty well, but I’ve seen other folks get stung here, however I think this was mostly in tournament situations, not cash. Sorry if the question is a bit convoluted :stupid:
