That means you can't just sit around and wait for premium hands. Rock loses to paper... So, how often do you limp (or even raise) with rags? Do you keep track? "The last 15 hands I played solid, now it's time to play some junk, to keep them off balance..." Which rags do you play, how much do you invest, are there particular situations or table compositions you look for? Mark No Karma

But, I'm raising a lot in general. In a tournament I'll do it if I need to steal the blinds and feel it is a good opportunity. No Karma

It's made a profit so far... -- 2 pair is not the hand to die with in PLO in a multi-way pot on a coordinated flop. [steve1127 on rgp] No Karma

If I get desperate for action and want to play some trash, I try to remind myself that I can just wait until my next big blind. If it costs me a raise to see a five-way flop with J6, that's probably a smaller mistake than K3 as the second limper in late position. No Karma

"The last 15 hands I played solid, > now it's time to play some junk, to keep them off balance..." Randomly. Look at your watch. If (for example) the second hand is exactly on 2, 6, or 11, play the hand like you would a medium-strength hand preflop. If you don't hit two pair or better on the flop then check-fold. Don't get fancy unless you have your opponent completely outclassed. -- Joe Claffey | "Make no small plans." indianajoe3@comcast.net | -- Daniel Burnham No Karma
