| hey, i was playing in a mtt the other day and im a tight agressive player, and whenever i would fold a hand with a 10 in it, especially 10 5, it would either hit two pair or would be good. should i start playing the "rag ride" and play with these hands or should i still fold em? |

| Well, it depends. If you're at my table, you should play the rags. Otherwise, don't be a moron, and continue to fold. |

Easy, Easy.
German, why are you being so results oriented? If you folded 72o twice & it would have flopped a 2 pair once and then a full house the next time; does it mean you should play it?
You can certainly play more loosely, but loosely isn't 105o or 72o. That means playing suited connectors aggressively or suited one gappers, etc. That certainly can be a profitable style but its not recomended for amatuers. |

| Yeah, these stories hurt. The other night at my brick and mortar game I was deal 72 and folded, 82 next hand with another fold, followed by 92 which I folded again. The 4th hand in this sequence I was dealt T2 suited. I hesitated for about a minute, because I really felt like I wanted to play it for some reason, but then logic got the better of me and I folded. Would have flopped deuces full of tens. |
