Ace in the middle is typically a good idea in ofc. This is how I set it: X / A:s: 2:d: 3:c: / 7:h: T:h:

I agree with MMM, this is the set we use most of the time. It sucks that he has one of your deuces and one of your threes but this is still the right set imo.

You're welcome.

Actually, repeating "regular ofc" in each post would be redundant.

I renamed this thread to "setting first 5 in regular ofc" so it should be less confusing now.

This thread is for regular ofc. I agree it would be clearer if each post said regular ofc as well - I'll see if we can do that.

Agreed, we only have 3 spots in front - we want to be selective there.

I wouldn't put the 5:c: in the front.

finotc,

Small pairs are tricky so I'm guessing there are a lot of different opinions on this. In pine I might set this X / 3:s: 5:d: / 9:s: 2:d: 2:h: but I'm not sure how I would set this in...

I like it for pineapple. In regular ofc it is more debatable.

I wouldn't put both the 8 and the T up front like that. Here is a more aggressive set:
Q:s: / A:h: 8:d: / T:c: J:h:

He's going for fl. The pair of aces have a potential pair of queens beat so he can fill the middle with blanks. It is true that switching the pair of tens and the pair of aces would reduce the...

Yeah, I think that's ok for regular ofc (in pineapple the K:h: goes in the front imo).

In pineapple the Q:d: in front with the A:s: in the middle would be standard. In regular ofc this is more risky but I still think there are a lot of players who would say to do it that way.

I would have set it the same way as gmml. Wazzup showed the five so we don't want our 5:c: in back. Wazzup has no deuces so we put our 2:c: in back with the 3 kings.

I think Jazzyrobby's set is ok too.

I think dawgboy's 2:s: / 7:s: 4:d: / Q:d: K:h: set is ok. I guess the 2:s: could go in the middle or the front.

Some people might put the Q:d: and 4:d: on the bottom with the K:h: in the middle.

I'm assuming you're hu oop. I like the Q and the K. I'm not sure if all 3 of the low cards should go on the bottom or if we should set some of them elsewhere until we have more visibility.

Did I set it right?

I'm thinking maybe it isn't good to go for it like this oop.

Yeah, this is tough. Being in position, we see that Wazzup has no aces and no tens so setting the 2 pair in back in the hopes of getting a boat doesn't seem bad. The one thing we know for sure is...

Yeah, I set that hand wrong. More than anything else I was testing our new post buttons inside our ofc game.

Did I set it right?

This is the thread we'll use to discuss the strategy behind setting the first 5 cards.
