This is a basic 'should I call with this hand pf?' post. Does anyone like a 3bet with it?



Another Q - what sort of hands are people calling with out of the SB/BB to a CO/BTN open raise? Assuming we're up against a typical bad 1/2 player.

the call is marginal, imo. i like it more if i think bb will fold often. i like it less if he's calling with a wide range due to "good odds". the key, of course, is playing well post-flop.

as played, i like your post-flop play.


re your calling range Q, are you talking about people being "us" or people being your typical 200 player? assuming you mean us...

- if pfr is a nlhe-type of player, then i call with a wider range. i would want medium or high pairs and/or running types of hands (gaps ok) since i will be more likely to outplay villain if i hit a good flop.

- if pfr is a plo player (esp. if tight), then i only like to play with more premium hands (good running hands and big pairs with help).

fwiw, i don't have a well-defined range here at these stakes since i don't play them in plo. i'm kind of transferring some plo8 concepts to plo with regards to what i think would work at the 200+ level.
