I open K5s in the HJ, 86s in the CO, 87o on the btn, and Q7o is the bottom of my btn range. It's strange that you are including K5s in the list, as it is way stronger than Q7o or 98o.
I'm not sure why I included K5s. I usually open it in the CO.
I do open all those hands but have been running bad in this spot. Just checking to see if maybe I needed to dial it back.
I saw it mentioned that solvers open 27% in the HJ. I see K5s is in this range. Is this a situations where a solver is going to play perfectly post flop so it can play this many hands? You play better than I so you can open this many hands. I feel like I would get in trouble playing this many hands. The games I play in are extremely aggressive. I see some extremely laggy players do very well in these games but I also see some more tight TAGs also do well.
How low are you going with your suited gappers on the button? It seems at some point you are going to be taking the worse of it with 35s or 57s type hands.
