    Default Anosmic's 39 hands

    No. Don't worry it's not a new starting-hand chart or anything

    No, my basic opening hands at FR are basically 39 given below. Many are highly situational (89s I'd have to be lp with a lot of limping going on, or occasionally to a raiser looking for a trappy pot).

    I'd be interested if anyone has any thoughts. I'm seriously thinking about cutting out raises with AJ, although it feels like it's worked quite well so far.
    I'm really thinking about starting to raise KQ a bit more. But I'm not sure.

    It's a small sample size (4k examples taken from 25k hands at 5/10/25 NL) but it's a start.
    I've been checking KJs, it's fairing badly but it seems to me that the major losses have been suck-outs and chasing draws with correct odds, that haven't paid off. I'm relying on the fact that in time that'll start moving north on this chart.

    Can't tell if Axs is a smart move or not. Again, situational.

    Interesting are hands which are +$ and -BB. That's +BB/hand and -$/hand. If it's probably been winning at low-stakes and losing at higher stakes.
    But again, sample size becomes an issue.

    I did a quick check in my PT and got these figures (from 30k FR hands):
    PFR VPIP no PFR
    Hands 2265 3216
    Win% 69% 25%
    No Showdown 1226(*) 445
    Won Showdown 342 368
    Lost Showdown 296 345
    Folded 354 1829

    (* 50% of these are no-flop takedowns)

    Seems to show that agression is good
    But seeing that most of my won hands have not required me to actually hold the cards is significant. The importance of good c-betting is become all the more clear to me!

    Okay, the hands:


    Blah blah Op Blah blah

    Faith in Jesus Christ is +EV. That is all.

    You should be raising more with your pocket pairs, esp. at tight tables. KQs could also be a very good raising hand. It works for me. And quit raising KJs.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    I raise JKs on button and CO steals. You don't have to totally stop raising it.

    You raise pocket 9's 17% of the time, but only raise 8's 2.5% of the time? whats up with that? I raise 8's from any position. I raise 22-66 from button or CO. But it does all depend on the table. On a loose table I dont like raising low PP's unless im on the button.
