Fnord,

I think the groupings are actually less limit centric. When I play, I value suited cards, but I guess not as much as you do, I don't generally chase drawing hands, especially low/second best ones. That's why low suited connectors and semi-connectors are at the bottom of my chart (if at all). The only drawing hands I like are nut ones, so I'll play the Axs.

QJ KT QT JT - these can be trouble suited or not in my opinion. They just need to be played carefully. Average cards against average players can still turn a profit if you're a little better than the average player.

You're right, baby pocket pairs do deserve a bit more respect, but I don't raise with any of them. Even on your list, you have AQ AJ KQ above all pairs 99 and lower, yet you're willing to fold those on a tight table and not your lower ranked pairs. (I don't stop playing any of my hands due to the tightness of a table, I'll only add hands or play Group7's out of position on a weak table. I figure any table that's as tight or tighter than me is way, way too tight, I gotta leave.)

I think baby pocket pairs are in a class of their own, you can call bets with them pre-flop, but not normally raise with them. That's the opposite of most hands.

TT vs AK - this is a good one, obviously both are awesome. I play both similarly pre-flop. However, I think there are more occasions to attack a poor flop and end it with TT than AK. Not to mention, the potential of flopping trips is there. Now, against raises, I think AK plays much stronger and has way less dominating hands.

A9 and K9 are pretty weak, I only play those in late pos. But again, I'm not looking to play that many hands on hopes of a flush or straight, I usually don't hang around long enough to even find out if I'll make one or not. My limit game isa different story, of course.

I like your point about your pre-flop raise size, that the table environment really drives the size, that's one of the first things I try to figure out when I take a seat is the pain threshold of my opponents.
