How Loose a Table Can Go
Hello,
I have something to ask, it’s something about how loose a table can go. In particular, how many players should be in around when being in a tourney with 9 players around and with K8o? Do you think it can be played middle position? Or else only late when like 80% of the players are in?
In middle position, what are the playable hands? And can suited connectors be played in middle position or only in late position?
Also, what are the hands considered to be middle hands? How about late position hands? And is 56s better compared to K7s? By the way, are both to be played when in the back? Or else middle position will do? I understand how loose the table needs to be considered but which table will it fit most, typical table, not too loose, not too tight, or what?
Thanks and nice site!
Regards,
Joe
Joe,
While I wouldn’t normally play K-8o, if 9 players are limping in to see the flop, I’m going to limp in to. 9 to 1 on my money is fantastic odds. If I miss, no worries.
In middle position, pairs can be limped in with, as well as A-10 through A-K. K-Q and K-J suited can also be limped in with. Pairs 9 and up can be raised as well as A-Ks, A-Qs, and A-J suited. Suited connectors other than high suited connectors should probably be played in late position only.
K-7s is better than 5-6s due to the high pair chances and better flush chance. Most hands that I recommended above are good hands to raise with in late position. I would limp in with a few other hands such as two cards 10 and up, suited or non, most suited connectors 7-8 and up, and suited aces.
