ok time for some poker thoughts.

Im just gonna tackle PF hands to be played in early position at full ring only, i wanna tackle small points in the game in this thread and maybe group them together later and post in other forums.

I will use Rentons thread on PF strategy for my analysis. Before i do though, the purpose of this is to improve my play and understanding of preflop strategy. Currently im playing 14/7 roughly and im not happy about it. I want to address this now at 50NL before 100NL, having said that I will just move up when BR premits.

UTG

currently i raise KQs+, KQo, JJ+. So i should mentally work on dropping KQo altogether near, this holding in particular i feel isnt working for me enough OOP and raising. also i think Ive enough balance even by dropping this holding that other players will know i dont always have a monster UTG. PP's 22-TT is another part im concerned about, i limp 22-TT currently. I think this is a big leak IMO, so i note that i will now raise 99 and TT. ill continue to limp 22-88 but will think more about the table dynamics more. dropping 22-55 is probably a bit much at 50NL but at 100Nl i wonder if i should drop them. I hear ppl also limp QJs, mid SC and suited Aces but im not willing to practice them yet and its mainly based on table texture which im not that experienced in yet. LOL i just keep adding to this as i go on, im also NOT looking to balance my play in any way yet at 50NL i dont see the need.

UTG+1&2

Opening Pot -

''Raise 99+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs like UTG but add a few more hands'' qouted from Renton. Currently i play this the same with same range as in UTG above. I will adjust as in UTG above though i do feel so TRANSARENT when limping bacause i only do it with PPs 22-TT (tho now ill raise 99 & TT) but still it feels icky.


After UTG limp

Currently raise KQs+,JJ+. i know KQs might be borderline but im not really ever afraid of an UTG limp. more often than not its a small PP or mid SC at 50NL.

After UTG raise

Currently reraise QQ+,AK+. AQs depends, call in vacuum. Generally call with 22-JJ. I do find folds for AQo,AJ and KQs since my position sucks and im not in control not to mention 7-8 players left to act .

Thats it for now, ill see how my changes will affect my game now. Will update on some thoughts on this at a later date. This post isnt anything life changing but i think it helps me more to take this much time thinking about it and developing. Improving is just as important as increasing ones bankroll.
