If there's a limper or two ahead of me, I'll still go ahead and raise with AJ or a suited QJ or some more marginal hands that could be strong with a decent flop.
I generally don't slowplay anything short of a flopped full house because I don't like to take a chance of giving out free cards to any decent draw I might be up against. I'll go ahead and lead out or raise if I flop a set or two pair or something that people tend to want to slowplay until the turn. I think you want to take down a pot as soon as possible with anything that's vulnerable to a decent draw.
The key is to be able to get away from some decent hands if you sense trouble. Being able to lay down top pair/weak kicker or draws without decent pot odds is key to not getting eaten alive at those kinds of tables.Statistics: Posted by flafishy — Sat Jul 29, 2006 2:00 am
