A button question..

[posiview]

I'm new to poker, played for around 5 months online.

I've read that you should play the button with just about anything (Helmuth); is this how you play it?

I tend to play most unraised hands when I'm on the button..

Cheers

If the guys who are in the hand ( SB BB and lets say a limper) is able to fold preflop ore on the flop if I raise...... I would raise AX , KX and all pairs.

It depends on the players who are in the hand... Not the table.


I dont raise a bad hand if it is a donk ore a fish in the hand....


If anyone dont aggree with me I would be gladly to hear

disagree
im not raising button,with ace x or king x, if there are limpers in the pot, im ight limp in as well
but if action is folded around to u and ur in CO or BTN i think u should raise with just about anything as this play will make more money for u in the long run than it will lose u{except if u raise something like 6*bb }

Thanks for the answer.. I usually raise 4x 5x ore 6x big blind

And I usually dont raise a bad hand if it is more than 2 limpers


I dont realy see the point with limping with a bad hand....

Thanks for the answer.. I usually raise 5x ore 6x big blind

5*bb is way to large to be raising into an unopened pot
2.5 to 3 * bb is a lot better size for a raise in that situation,but if it is that ur raising to get the limpers out of the pot the 5*bb is ok

u dont need to go crazy with weak hands just cause you are on the puck, playing in postion is deffinately a strenghtness but raising it everytime is going a little overboard, pick your spots !

True..You dont need to do it..... But you will make more profit if you do it....( and Im not talking about raising every hand)

 

[Bentheman87]

Don't raise with every hand, just most hands. Still fold garbage hands but raise with A-X, K 9 or better, J9 or better, any pair.

ya i say pick your spots, raising everytime will either hurt you when they catch or if they start testing your raise, then you have some work

I personally wont raise with rags on the button or CO until the blinds are large enough to make a significant dent in their stack by calling my 3or4x raise or when getting close to the money in a tournament where alot of the weak players are tightening up. Early in a tourny or first 4 or 5 levels its pretty much a useless and unprofitable play in my opinion.

I was thinking about cash game.,.,

But I have not tried it in tournies ore sit and goes..But I think it will work there as well ( if you have good enough reads on the players)
