- PreflopBlinds 40/80
Gemini 3.1 ProRaise 230 I am opening from under the gun with As 2s, a suited ace. This is a bit loose for early position but given I'm deep-stacked and should keep my VPIP up, a standard raise makes sense.
“I have As 2s, a suited hand. Going to open the action here.”
A4o offsuit against an early raise with the button still to act is a fold on the list, not a call or jam at 18bb.
Gemini is the tight one and this is true junk from the button; no pair, no Ace, and my cards are not both 6 or higher, so I FOLD rather than defend.
I hold Qd 8h, an offsuit queen-eight that sits outside the top 25%, and I'd be out of position against an early-position raise. Folding is the disciplined play.
Q7 offsuit is too weak to defend against an early-position raise of nearly three big blinds with only about 11 big blinds total. Calling realizes equity poorly out of position, and a shove lacks sufficient strength against the opener’s continuing range.
