Why The People Scare To Play Poker ?
Have a question concerning a particular starting hand type. I am in early position in a low-limit, fairly loose game, and get 10s-9s. No raises yet; I call. There are several more callers, and the button raises. I assume it would be correct to call his raise. If there are no callers between us, is it still correct? If there were TWO raises behind me, I’d probably want to toss this hand, wouldn’t I? If it were me on the button, with no raises in front, should I raise with this hand?
Answer 1:
10-9 suited is a good hand to play multi-way…if there aren’t a lot of callers; it’s not a hand you want to be playing for multiple bets if a few people called between you and the raiser you might as well see the flop since you’re already in for a bet and the multi-way action makes the hand valuable however, raising on the button with this hand and callers already in probably won’t solve anything but possibly stealing blinds, which you want in the action anyway. You might raise it if you were first caller on the button perhaps…
Answer 2:
You only want to do this from early position in a loose game where the next 2-3 players after you are fairly passive. If no one else had called, then your assessment of the game being loose is way off. You nee to start tightening up a lot from early position. But, yes, go ahead and call the raise. Just don’t limp in with that kind of hand again. Maybe with 46- 6 close limpers in front of you. If they are really, really loose, maybe raise as few as 3 of them. That might be pushing it though.
Answer 3:
To win Play only. The Name brand hands AA KK AK QQ just the four name brand hands unless you are in the big blind very hard to do– but this is a sure winner –To have fun as I do in a low limit games just play any two. Call all raises and have a good time when you have had enough fun go home hopefully winner.
