thanks, i normally limp with all pairs up to queens
Come in raising whenever you can, all of my experience is from 5nl rush so some of my strat might not be suitable for 10nl but in general people play really tight so a 3xbb raise will often take down the blinds from most positions, so you have 2 reasons for raising all PP's 1)its not a bad hand and theres always the trusty cbet if you miss, and 2)you'll probs steal the blinds
, as say i raise 3x BB, then get re raised quite big, i havnt got good odds to call to hit my set, but say i just limp the biggest raise they are usually going to do is 4x BB, then if i hit my set players at this level cant normally let go AA/KK/QQ on a low flop if i push my set hard. is this reasoning sound?
Not really b/c your playing very 'fit or fold' poker like this, in general you'll have no history with the raiser so you have no idea where your at on certain flops, this takes away a lot of the chances where you could c/r on dry boards etc as you would if you knew he opened a lot and cbet a lot too, then you could call with all sorts and get him off of hands, but your going to find yourself ccheck-folding a LOT playing like this and your often not going to get enough value when you do hit b/c your oop and its not only harder to extract value but its bloody obvious when your trying to, anyone with half a brain folds to turn c/r's after a check-call on the flop unless they have the nuts lol
also say i raise with hands like AQ, should i be folding to a re raise?
Depends a lot on villain but i'd rather not play AQ oop, if the blinds 3bet you then i probs call, if someone has position on me i don't like calling personally but some say thats nitty, in the past i've just got into too many shitty spots with AQ, again, i don't know how the dynamic is at 10nl but at 5nl people aren't 3betting hands like AJ/AT so if you get 3bet you could easily be crushed by AA/KK/QQ type hands
also is cold calling raises with suited connectors ok if in position?
I like to over-call SC's if i can, ie call behind if there has already been one caller, i'll overcall from the blinds too, with an extra person in the pot you have more chance of being paid when you hit the flop hard, if i'm on the BTN or in the CO and someone in LP has open raised i probs 3bet with SC's, peoples EDIT:LP /EDIT opening ranges are a lot wider in rush and you can exploit that by 3betting more sceptical cards when your in position
thanks
