With Low Cards
Hi,
I regularly play Poker with some friends. Oftentimes we play at home. Well, we occasionally have pre-flop raises, however not so big ones. Now my question is, is there any logic in pre-flop raising in case your hand is 46s or 58s, maybe even off suit? For me, players with decent hands are the ones to call, at least placing a card like a face card. Say I’m the only one playing low cards and if they flop or else no high cards do, then I’d go on however if not, I’d lose the raise nonetheless. Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Shawn
Shawn,
The only time I would raise with these cards is in late position against weak players or I am in the blind and only facing the other blind. Otherwise, I will usually limp in with this hand and see a cheap flop. You will miss a high percentage of the time, which means you will lose money most of the time that you play this hand.
