Hi all - so i started playing a home game (1/2 75%+ straddle 5 (button or utg...utg has priority for straddle option))
The game plays DEEP. average stack is usually around 2K
None of the players are just BAD. Players call and raise lots when they are in position...4 bets are not uncommon.
So the area i could use some help with is what to do with my utg & utg+1 ranges.
I'm finding that I'm put in some really nasty spots too often when I have hands like 99+ kqs+...story tends to go me raise, someone call(or raise) and another 2 call (or someone else raises again)...these hands seem too good to fold pre...my thoughts on adjustments are as follows:
1. Start limp call and limp raise the top of my range and add a few bluff hands to do the same for balance
2. Just fold everything less than JJ+
3. Flat more 3 and 4 bets...donk lead/fold on boards that have multiple face cards (assuming here that the 3&4 bets are generally too light
3.b same as above but plan check/raises on good boards
4. start straddling utg and look to raise top part of range and a few bluffs
Other thoughts??
Thanks for your input
