Just started playin and have been in a couple of tourneys in the last 2 days so learning more and more as I go on.. I’m trying to play as they tell you to in supersystem2.. have a few questions so hopefully a few of you will know what to do:
If you have a pocket pair jacks or lower will you always call the blinds in any position? How big a raise should you call depending on your chips, the blind, size of the pair and positon?
Doyle Brunson recommends that sometimes with trash or trouble hands you should sometimes play your position on the button by betting 4 times the big blind before the flop, then about 15 after if called. How often should you do this?
He outlines trouble hands as AQ AJ A10 KQ KJ K10 QJ Q10 J10 98, and says to only call a raise when in late position. Are there any exceptions to this? And should you always call the big blind with these, even in early position?
When calculating the odds on a draw, I’m still unsure as whether to go by the hit by turn or hit by river odds. Is there any general concensus on this?
When holding 2 cards to a straight flush, what is the approximate probability of hitting a two pair or better after all the cards are dealt?
I’m also still unsure as how to adapt my game when the numbers decrease at the table. Last time the numbers at the table would drop from 11 to as low as 6 before we joined with another table and at the final table it could obviously go down to the final two.
Has anyone got any good links or advice for this rather than “just play more games and you’ll get used to it”?
