What type of cards should be play after itm.. I play on A with good kicker or pocket above 9.
Any stratgey to be use after itm.
Some time I think i should play K 9 Q8 type suited cards but at that time blinds are very high and some player their always in pot with 2bb raise. Should we enter in pot with these cards and against 2bb raise.
My reason for asking is simple that getting very good cards took too much time and waiting till then makes me very low in chips. Please tell me cards should be played against 2bb raise after itm situation.

get reading some books, no one can answer this.

All i will say is that waiting for good cards does not work. EVERYONE gets dealt the same cards over time, so i will get pocket aces exactly as often as you will. So with that knowledge it should be pretty obvious we need to do things with worse hands to make up or to get an EDGE on the field by making profit on hands that they don't.

I would loosen my range up a bit. I would call with any pockets, so if I hit a set I'll be in a really good spot. I would raise with premium cards and premium hands. I would play higher suited connectors. That's my personal gameplay, see what works best for you. Good luck at the tables.

Actually not true. You can theorectically go through a whole life of poker and never get dealt AA...on the reverse you could play a whole life of poker and have AA every hand. We all pretty much live somewhere in the middle. But randomness is randomness...and to be truly random some must get more than others...some maybe many more. So no not everyone will get the same cards eventually...that is a gamblers misnomer...just like those that claim they are due to win in anything.

You can loosen up a bit. AX and 99+ is pretty tight especially once in the money. Obviously there are things to consider...your table image...who else at table...your chip stack...others chip stacks....pay increases...etc...

yes, i was trying to simplify and hopefully make this guy play a wider range of hands.
