lay the rest of that shit down preflop, opti, and you'll find yourself in far less tricky hands.....
if i'm in a nit laden game, I also like playing 98, 97 and 96, 87, 76, 54, and 34 offsuit, as well, because if you flop the world, you're gonna get paid by the dope hangin' on to ace big hopin' to catch up and the guy who's overpair you just cracked......
of course, on sbr, as the players at my table saw just a few days ago, you can catch top two with 97 and some dumbass with jacks will call your reraise all in at the flop, and pair the board on the f'n river for a better two pair......
I like those middle connected offsuit cards to hit a straight, obviously, to feel safe when you figure your opponent for the over pair.....
In a trny at L'Auberge a few nights ago, I doubled up through the chip leader with 76 after floppin 85, turning the 9.... he had aces and was drawing dead at the turn..... I doubled up again when he shoved his 88 from the small blind on my big blind, right into my tens..... and imagine what happened!!!! in a situation very much the opposite from Shithole Be Rigged Poker, my tens held up.....
we chopped after the next hand, three-ways (at L'auberge, 125 buyin trny with unlimited rebuys for the first two hours or so).....
small pockets (99-22), easy to get away from after the flop if overs hit and your opponent is firing at it.....
