Hello fiends
What cards should I be raising and what cards should I be calling with when I am first to act with no straddle

If you have to ask then probably not many hands.

Fold 80% of them dealt to you. There, I just increased your WR massively. Np

Was this originally in uNL or LLSNL? The answer is quite different.

2/5 300bbs deep is what I was looking for. Decided on 55+ and 9Ts+ and was looking for feedback

volume king:

when u say first to act...Do you mean UTG?
is this in vegas? If so the wynn I assume?
How well do you play deep stacked? My definition of good is you are winning over 10bb/hr over a very large sample, are able to hand range very well and put your opponents in tough spots (not just when you are nutted up), people rgularly seat jump you or table change away from you, etc

Depends on position, action before you, effective stacks, villain tendencies, etc.

I am struggling to beat the game for over 4bbs and hour and want help with my ranges. I almost never bet big without the nuts or a big hand . I meant the UTG position. My friend says to play 55+ and JTs+. What say you guys?

Your friend is way too wide. UTG for a player that's not extremely experienced postflop is something like AJs+, AQ+, 88+

tbh you can honestly probably just open limp small pairs at LLSNL and open raise with the rest of your range which you're not folding

unless it's changed from the game conditions I read about
