Fold them pre, makes post flop much easier.

Obv some hands will be played, so I would be raising more OOP to narrow the field.

Like starting said, fold most of your hands when OOP.

If you think the hand is good enough to limp in with, then it's probably good enough to raise. If you don't think it's good enough to raise, but good enough to limp in with, then it's best to fold.

Let's say you're oop and you have a piece of hand like midle pair, or top pair with a weak kicker, first you have to keep the pot small you won't play a big pot unless you have a big hand so check-call or check-raise. or you have the option of the blocking bet. you bet 1/3 the pot to block vilain from betting 1/2 the pot and to get some information, if you get raised fold.

Be more tight, adjust, always adjust.. if you play with tighters bluff more and play more hands.. if you play with lose player tighten your range.. fold more preflop on blinds

I like to play PP from any position. The problem is, If I don't hit the trips, then it gets very hard to continue playing. So, although I might go a small raise or limp in any position, I will most likely need to fold if I come up against any serious opposition.

lol.

Just keep in mind this is just general information. A lot depends on effect stack sizes, blinds, opponents, etc.

But yeah, entering pots with a raise is usually better than limping in.

In positon/out of positon
Top pair out of positon
We want to keep the pot small, in position we can keep it bigger and bigger, but the check turn its a smart move

We want the call or fold?
When we want to call we can slowplay your bet small to induce the call, this is when we have top two, flush, full house...

But if we want him to fold?
Normally a tight player fold to half the pot, but the loose player like to see one more card, we need to bet pot, overbet, all in

When we have Value... top set in out position
-small bet....
-bet or check
-Induce the player to bet with worse hands than us


But like a lot of peopl said, fold the most hands pre-flop, in out position we want to play with good cards, tight is the key...

Out of position you must raise 4-5bb good card and let players know you have a very strong hand.

Pre-flop is the classic advice, play with good hands, pos-flop play agressive, but you have to see how your opponents react to C-bet, and double barrel, so it depends not only on the stage of the game but also on the characteristics of your opponents

my friend, it depends on the hands that play against you and your hand. There are situations when the position will play a very big role! So play with positions more profitable! I'm talking about the long run. and not about a particular hand.
