I rarely ask too many preflop questions, but here's one for you that a buddy and I totally disagree about:

The limit is basically irrelevant, but to put a number on it, we're playing $8/16, 6max.

CO is solid, tricky, and a regular winner in the game. #'s are 30/25/2.5. Postflop, our edge against one another isn't very dramatic either way.

He opens, I'm OTB w/ A9s. Talk to me...

Raise!

Given his stats u can assume he is opening 30% from CO.

You are waaaay ahead of his range.

wow, i dont see where YOU are going with this one, socal??

even i think its a standard 3bet.

unless you plan on tricking yourself out of about 7BBs.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
