Message: [QUOTE="metameg, post: 4559937, member: 335559"] Look, don't start thinking rags are just as good to play as what you know are strong hands. Sure you can play rags in the right spots, but playing rags, especially in cash games, should be almost completely eliminated from your game. The fact that you have encountered a run where it seems like rags are more successful is nothing more than a run where -EV has prevailed. Continue to play strong hands aggressively, and of course be able to fold them if necessary. Sure, rags are easier to play because you have a fold plan, but thats exactly why you shouldn't play them often, because you play to fold most of the time, whereas with stronger holdings you are playing to win a sizable pot. Now I'm not saying to never play rags, but...never play rags. I'm of course just talking long-run success. [/QUOTE]
