I'm making the switch from full ring to shorthanded. I have a basic strategy, see below. And would like some comments. If this has posted before please show me the way. I have read the sticky.

Raise from any position. AA,KK,AKs,QQ,AK,JJ,TT,AQs,99,AQ,88,AJs,77,KQs,66,A Ts,55,AJ,KQ,44,33,22

Blinds:
When you blind is being attacked raraise. AQ,KQs,ATs,88. What should I just call with?

What hands should I be playing from UTG, besides: AA,KK,AKs,QQ,AK,JJ,TT,AQs,99,AQ,88,AJs,77,
KQs,66,ATs,55,AJ,KQ,44,33,22

Late?

I would really like comments to this basic strategy. Anything to add/remove? Please comment.

the main thing is to not get stuck too closely onto any guide of hands. you're still going to have to have better hands than your opponents after the river and the strenth of the hands you choose to show down should highly depend on the opponents and situation. there, i have given you the secret end-all guide to making millions.

table dynamics, my friend...

"it all depends".

Sure, I'll raise K9s sometimes, and sometimes I won't.

Sometimes I'll raise 75o, and sometimes I won't.

ok well yea like he said, a lot is situation dependent, but no i wouldnt reccommend raising K9s from UTG. honestly, playing tight-aggressive and beginning with better starting hands is often under-emphasized. there is good money to be made nut camping 100nl 6max and below

one thing that i feel is important is to avoid calling raises with marginal hands - 6max and full ring games are the same in that you fold the same hands when other people raise - AQo is not a calling hand unless youre reraising a loose PF raiser.

That's all fine and great untill you get up to higher limits, starting hand guides are weak. If I see a tight player raise to 4xbb, I call with 67o. Just watch out for re-raises and you'll be fine, it's ok to raise and then fold PF.
