Hi everyone i am slowly getting back to poker and starting from building solid preflop hand selection.
My default raising range is solid, but I have a problem with what hands choose to call an open from EP or MP and why ( as i am not yet so comfortable with calling and getting into the flop with medicore hands) .
Take this hand for example where i don't have any information on villain:
9 max
UTG 1 limps 1BB
UTG2 folds
MP1 folds
MP2 isolates to 5 BB (effective stack 100BB)
HJ folds
CO folds (he posted 1 bb for missing the blinds)
BTN (hero with KJo) there is 8bb at the moment it costs me 5 bb to call
SB
BB
so what is your default here and why >? against unknown opponent what hands do you decide to call and why? With hands like KJo 2/3 of the time you miss (with no idea how to make the profit) and 1/3 of the time you hit, things can get dangerous on Kxx or Jxx flops, so i guess most of the time you can only win small pots with these hand. so overall my default here is fold.
so what hands do you choose to call a raise from ep or mp in a full ring and 6 max and why.?
