I Was Wondering If Anybody Here Opens Or Calls Raises With 23s?


Recommended Posts

Can incorporating 23s into your $1/2 or $2/4 No Limit game prove to be profitable over time??I find when i play it, it never hits, and when it does it usually gets draw out on. but I have seen high stakes players add it into their game when their oppponents are stacked fairly deep. Anybody play it profitably over the long??Or have any insight to playing this hand?

If you have to ask, you can't play it.Period.
Exactly.If you're going to play a hand like 23s, you might as well start playing hands like 94. However, if you do play those hands, your intent should be on trying to outplay someone, rather than hit a hand.All in all, I still believe it's correct to play TAG in nl cash games.

the greatest basketball player in the world wore 23, therefore you must pay him his respect by calling raises with his hand

not to be racist or anything but it should be said that 23s and 23c are more effective than 23h and 23d...DUCY?

Raise it? NL cash game... not unless you feel you can get someone to put in some money and out play them because you have a ninja read on them, then it doesn't matter what hand you play. If I am in the BB and the sb does a donk min raise and there is no one else in the pot, I probably call this. Otherwise it gets tossed.

the only problem with 23s is if you hit a straight it will be the bottom end of the straight or the lowest possible flush.I like playing though to tilt people. Just play it from the SB so it is half price.(that last part might not be good advice)

I stay away from it personally.It does have some nice deceptive properties. E.g., Hero raises with 2 :club: 3 :D . Flop comes A :D 4 :D 8 :D. Hero c-bets. He can represent an ace on a flop that often misses the villain very convincingly, with a little draw in case the semibluff fails.

Villain calls hero's c-bet.5 comes on the turn.Both players go all in.Hero gets stacked by villain's 6 7

Sure. It's easy to get away from.

Not all the time, but it does happen.Besides I wouldn't have even made the lame joke if good ol' Dave would have made the 3rd card on the flop a 9.
Play it on a jackpot table and pray Villian has the 67 of hearts lol
