Pre-flop hypothetical

    Default Pre-flop hypothetical

    I think one of my biggest leaks is cold calling too many pre-flop raises. This is a really simple scenario, but I'd love to hear some opinions.

    Party 100NL, you're on the button, 100BB effective stacks. A tighty (15/6/2.5) opens from MP for 4XBB and it folds to you on the button. What's your play with:

    1. TT
    2. A8s
    3. KTs
    4. T9s
    5. J9s
    6. 76s
    7. QJo

    Does it change if a loose CO (25/8) calls in front of you?

    The looser the raiser, the more likely I am to reraise/pl big cards (e.g. TT, AQ) and the more likely I am to fold speculative hands like 55 or 76s.

    The reasoning is pretty simple.

    If they raise alot they are less likely to have a hand to pay me off when I hold speculative hands, and I am more likely to be ahead preflop with 2 big cards.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    Re-raise TT, fold the rest.

    1. Reraise
    2. Fold
    3.Fold
    4. Call
    5.Fold
    6.fold
    7.fold

    If the CO calls im calling all of the suited connectors, but dont im cautious with the king ten of i flop top pair. Im always folding jq tho. Unless im drunk. Then its a reraise
    Me? I always tell the truth.

    Even when I lie.
