Pocket Hands: What to Call [post #1]

In No-Limit, what are good pocket hands to call the BB with? In other words, what 2 cards should I have if I am to stay in the game pre-flop?

Re: Pocket Hands: What to Call [post #2]

These are the hands provided by Sklansky:
1: AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AKs
2: TT,AQs,AJs,KQs,AK
3: 99,JTs,QJs,KJs,ATs,AQ
4: T9s,KQ,88,QTs,98s,J9s,AJ,KTs
5: 77,87s,Q9s,T8s,KJ,QJ,JT,76s,97s,Axs,65s
6: 66,AT,55,86s,KT,QT,54s,K9s,J8s,75s
7: 44,J9,64s,T9,53s,33,98,43s,22,Kxs,T7s,Q8s
8: 87,A9,Q9,76,42s,32s,96s,85s,J8,J7s,65,54,74s,K9,T8

Sklansky recommends Groups 1-4 in early pos (sometimes 5), 1-6 in mid, 1-8 in late - this is very general.

I actually don't follow the chart and those positions that closely. This is based on a limit game. In no-limit, the blinds are miniscule compared to the pots, so I make a few adjustments.

Re: Pocket Hands: What to Call [post #3]

What are the adjustments you make for No-Limit?
And how do you determine the adjustments?

You should post these charts on your site. These are very helpful.

Re: Pocket Hands: What to Call [post #4]

Umm... well the adjustments are just something I figured out while playing - since the blinds are miniscule compared to the total pot, it's worth playing hands that have huge upside potential. Particularly, I play any pair in any position hoping to flop trips. I also play Ax suited in any position looking for the flush.

Yeah, we'll post Sklansky's hands on the main page, I'll also post the adjustments that I use.
