1 - Dan Harrington says in HOH2 that you should not make a c-bet w/
[Js] on a
[Th][5h] board. Similarly Chris Ferguson says in this month's issue of Bluff that 88 on a KT9 board is a bad spot for a continuation bet because you won't make a hand better than your's fold. I disagree because you are representing high cards when you raise in the 1st place. I also c-bet almost 100% of the time because I play at a leval where I either don't have enough hands against my opponents for them to have that good of a read on me or they aren't even paying attention to my plays over a lengthy period of time. What do you think?
2 - Some other guy that I've never heard of wrote an article in the same issue of Bluff called "Playing Sets". He says, "First, the idea of limping in early-position with small pairs to mid-pairs is usually sheer idiocy. Second, even when you have position you can't call too often with small-to-mid-pairs in an attempt to hit a set unless you are occasionally going to play your hand strongly when you miss the flop." Am I a sheer idiot for limping OOP w/ small to mid-pocket pairs?
3 - What do you think would happen if I just pushed pre-flop everytime I had QJo, JTs, or 56s. What is my EV for this play on each hand? Is there any level that you think this could be +EV at vs opponents with less than a certain # of hands vs you? Taking away AA-TT and AK if you were forced to push a certain hand pre-flop everytime you were dealt it, what would that hand be?
