a few hands... this is just a quick scan, so not necessarily the best examples. off to work now, so i'll look for more later. some of my raising hands were not neccearily junk., they just weren't big raising hands (like AAxx).

Villain obviously didn't like his hand, but i wanted to make sure no low appeared before i took a stab at it. min bets were the right price to call. i pop it on the flop if there is only one low card or an A fell. I wasn't playing this hand for value (although it had some) as much as i was looking for a good place to steal. most players at this table were laying down to any aggression from me without a monster. in retrospect, i should have raised this pf.

maybe my hand was good, but i didn't need to T to bet here. then again, this is just a typical blind steal on the flop -- not an ideal example, but it conveys the point.

definitely not a premium hand, but i had outs on the flop. i think that this is one key point... you often want to have some redeeming quality in your hand so that you can hit and show down sometimes. it's not necessary, but it helps. note the value of position here -- when they check to me, it's easy to make the bet. if they bet (and they usually did with a hand) i could safely fold or evaluate my pot odds.

this is a janky hand and a janky flop. my worry was that he had A2 and would call (pound the turn if it's not a low card). anyway, he folded.

again, this hand has some potential to make a hand both preflop and on the flop. that being said, it's not a traditional "strong" plo8 hand.
