	I feel that pre-flop play is one of the most-discussed topics in NLHE and I'm not sure what another thread would contribute.  Also, I feel like these questions are covered implicitly in other questions I have already posed.  I have re-organized the list of questions again to emphasize the way pre-flop action sets the scenario for post-flop play.

 What specific questions do you think need asking?
 How may one of my questions be re-worded to yield more enlightening answers?

 Again: Have I misunderstood you / is my analysis complete bunk?
 
 
 
	I think any topic is too broad when: It keeps digressing into specifics and no patterns emerge which categorize the specifics.  I am confident that poker lends itself to descriptions in the form of broad guidelines from which deviations are made.

 I think "outs + etc" is covered in the "board textures" question.  I really like your range vs hand question.
 
 
 
	I honestly feel that these hands play the same whether they're high or low.  Mid pair/weak kicker or worse is likely to happen more times than not with these pockets.  In short handed play, I can see some showdown equity in these hands, but not in FR.  Other than that, this statement seems related to questions 3 - 5.

 Revised list of questions (2):
 << Justification >>
 1) Why would these hands be playable?
 2) What value do they add to/remove from a range?
 << Pre-Flop Scenario >>
 3) How does stack sizing affect your decision to get involved in a pot with these hands?
 4) How does position and number/style of opponents factor in to your play?
 5) How do pre-flop bets affect your overall strategy or goal when playing these pockets?
 << Tactics >>
 6) What board textures are favorable/unfavorable?
 6a) What boards hit your range hard vs those that hit your hand hard?
 7) How does stack sizing or SPR affect post-flop play of these hands?
 8) In what circumstances is building the pot favorable to playing a small pot?
 
 What obvious questions am I missing here?
