This is something im trying out and need some participation off all players/readers of this blog. Im going to list 3 scenarios/Situations and need a response to each. You can comment here or email me the comments. I have asked 2 pro players their outlook on the same scenarios and will post their replies next week to show how they think. It will be interesting to see how players think.
Question 1.
Can you tell me how you would have played this hand! UTG pushes for €18k, blinds are 1500/3000. UTG had pushed 3 hands before and shown a high ace. Utg plus 1 folds and Utg plus 2 tanks for ages, with 5 still to act and eventually pushes. He pushed with ace queen. Few factors here, the guy pushing is going in with nothing less than a pair, and ace jack and above. We are 3/4 off the money as well. What would you do in this spot?
Question 2.
Holding ace king should you always raise? Ie if there is a raise before you act should you reraise. Yes/no and why?
Question 3.
Finally holding suited connectors should you raise? Or should you call a raise and if so up to how much? How do you play suited connectors?
This is nothing 2 serious but every player has a different way of thinking. This is something to show how each player thinks and like i said ill post all answers and then post the 2 Pro's answers to show you how they evaluate the above. If anything it may help you tighten up certain aspects of your game.
Thanks.

Fifteen players took to the felt in the Friday game at MKI, yielding a prize pool of €560.
Fourth on €50 was Robert Nolan. Third on €100 was Mark Dempsey. Craig Quinn and Geraldine Nolan chopped the top two prizes which added up to €410. Best hand on the night was Beaudine Browns house of Q's full K's, so she gets a free buy-in next week.

Top spot went to Stephen Tierney who won €180, 2nd was Ciaran Connolly for €140 and 3rd for €30 was Niall Callary. This was week 5 of the current league with 3 weeks left to play.
