hands like Ax, KQ, KJ, QJ are easily dominated by our TAG villians range are they not? Which is why we don't play them out of position | Which is also a reason we don't build a pot unnecessarily OOP. If we raise with the described hands, we are building a pot and most hands that call us, have us crushed. Playing some passive small-ball may allow us to see a flop as cheap as possible and go for our draw. Like I said, when I play that hand that early, I am going for big draws or better (obviously). 1 pair is not what I want. Quote:
I personally like 89s & 910s as well, when in position..
Am I putting too much emphasis on position this early on in the game with stacks this deep?
| I like it BETTER in position. But we have to be able to play hands like these OOP too, so that we can't be pinned to a certain range.
As for this hand, I wouldn't call the shove as I can't see many hands the villain rolls over that we can fist pump too. We are either crushed by a set, drawing thin to two pair or a back door draw or we are in a coin flip against a massive draw. Too much sweating to be done.
