KJo
78s
55’s-77’s
j9s
A8s
K9s
what are we doing with these hands? Raising some, limping some? Preflop rarely goes for 3 bets and it’s usually a premium hand. Going 4-5 ways every flop for 1-2 bets.
If not utg, what position are we opening these hands from?
the best play is probably something like
KJo, fold, raise utg+1
78s, fold, raise utg+2
55’s-77’s, raise77, raise 66 utg+1, raise 55 utg+2
j9s. fold, raise utg+1
A8s. raise
K9s. fold, raise utg+2
that said sometimes i feel like gambling and raise all of these for fun (i play postflop better if im having fun than i do if im bored, so theres a tradeoff). i do think that KJo, j9s, 78s, K9s are quite weak UTG 8 handed though. small pp's and Axs arent bad in any position on soft tables as they do awesome in multiway raised pots.
i also dont open limp unless im playing tilted or otherwise sh*tty. even on soft tables i find open limping is basically giving away money.
