We(atleast me) have those funny hand combos we like to play or "roadies" as my friends call them. should we keep playing these in button up for better odds as a BB or is there an odds/ pot odds one should look for to play one earlier?

I;ve been considering adopting some "roadies"... I particularly am interested in 89 and 78, especially when it looks like everyone else is playing ace and king etc...
I haven't got around to implementing it as a strategy, with comfort yet, and would likely use it selectively, but... based on folks using math and shit, and "low variance tactics", it will and does work...
the catch is, when a few guys are using the technique and then any flop is dangerous... but every flop IS DANGEROUS!:ciao:

Welcome to Cardschat. You kind of lost me at the hand combo thing, before you even got to the roadies :) What is a hand combo? If you mean you and your friends decided that certain garbage hands look funny somehow and deserve to be played preflop for that reason, I would recommend you to keep that practice only for your home friendly games.

My "roadies" are K2 spades/suited(first big suck out win when first learning) 10/9 suited and pocket 4's or 3's. I've notice some games they pay off and some they dont.... I think you're onto something about everyone playing AK or top shelf maybe the time to play them more often. tight games maybe do but aggressive/raising games dont? do the odds/payout change with those?
