I basically just try to play super TAG, very nitty preflop but then jamming the shit out of the pot when I am in it. I push nut draws hard generally and try to take down medium pots on the turn. I am trying to keep a really open mind and not get too much info from other people until I have made my own conclusions, then combine my own learned knowledge with respected players knowledge and see what I come up with.Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026007603250510224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012366747492399470.post-79794599984311241212008-02-12T12:22:00.000-08:002008-02-12T12:22:00.000-08:00AAxx hands I am going to the mat with almost alway...AAxx hands I am going to the mat with almost always preflop especially if xx is a wheel card.<BR/><BR/>I like high pockets and treat them like I would 22-88 in Hold'em. If I flop or turn a set I am likely going to the mat. If I am mathematically behind with the current nuts so be it. Overpairs are not something I typically want to show down, unless I was chasing a low a flush or a straight as well. <BR/><BR/>Wheel cards without an ace are fine but more so in 10 handed play. Short handed aggressive play often prevents you from drawing to a low, but in 10 handed play, so many people are scared to bet with out a monster. I just think you see more turns and rivers in 10 handed play. <BR/><BR/>I think the WNP crowd can conquer the 08 tables on cake and build bankroll for the challenge. Hope these comments help.jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031011372040805515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012366747492399470.post-4080049693137809072008-02-12T08:53:00.000-08:002008-02-12T08:53:00.000-08:00The only thing I was surprised at was that AAxx wa...The only thing I was surprised at was that AAxx was listed as super premium and unfoldable. Granted there is not always a low but it struck me odd that a hand with no low potential could (if AAT9) could be unfoldable in a hi/lo game. Granted there are plenty of good hands with AA in them but rhere are plenty of clunker, rainbow, no low, AAxx hands that are EV- as well.<BR/><BR/>I am also surprised at Jason's emphasis on high pairs/xx hands. AA makes the most sense of course but KK, QQ, and JJ seem so vulnerable to any A and don't really seem to be able to make a strong hand without boating up. It just struck me as odd that something like QQxx is premium but double paired hands are junk. Are high pockets valuable because an overpair wins high often enough when there is a low battle going on? I would have thought that an unassisted pair would not be strong enough to win high often enough to justify putting them in premium category. And are you going to go to the mat with an overpair? If you are getting action it seems that it is so likely that someone could have a random two pair that you can't feel comfortable with just a pocket for high.<BR/><BR/>From what I've seen it just seems that wheel cards are much more valuable in hi/lo than high pockets.Sushi Cowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753872848839415763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012366747492399470.post-52727019208083516882008-02-12T02:00:00.000-08:002008-02-12T02:00:00.000-08:00Great stuff Jase, keep it coming.
