    why not look at fundamentals of pre-flop play with scs? or at least address pre-flop action/relative position/stack depth/villain tendencies before trying to make blanket rules for postflop play.

    I mean, i guess we can talk about draws and made hands and stuff? (see isf's made hand article etc). What is fold equity? how do outs + etc impact decisions? what boards hit your range hard vs those that hit your hand hard? this goes forever. Is it worth perhaps narrowing it down a bit?

    playing high scs and s1gs in position 100bb deep after having attempted to isolate a limper preflop would be a huge topic by itself.

    I feel that pre-flop play is one of the most-discussed topics in NLHE and I'm not sure what another thread would contribute. Also, I feel like these questions are covered implicitly in other questions I have already posed. I have re-organized the list of questions again to emphasize the way pre-flop action sets the scenario for post-flop play.

    Do you feel as though I am missing your point?
    What specific questions do you think need asking?
    How may one of my questions be re-worded to yield more enlightening answers?

    Exploitation and the FTC Theorem

    Fold equity is based on a stat attached to a specific villain on a specific street to a specific bet. I don't think much can be generalized about fold equity in the context of this discussion, other than that it IS equity to count against all but the most stubborn of calling stations.
    Again: Have I misunderstood you / is my analysis complete bunk?

    I think any topic is too broad when: It keeps digressing into specifics and no patterns emerge which categorize the specifics. I am confident that poker lends itself to descriptions in the form of broad guidelines from which deviations are made.

    I think "outs + etc" is covered in the "board textures" question. I really like your range vs hand question.

    I honestly feel that these hands play the same whether they're high or low. Mid pair/weak kicker or worse is likely to happen more times than not with these pockets. In short handed play, I can see some showdown equity in these hands, but not in FR. Other than that, this statement seems related to questions 3 - 5.

    Revised list of questions (2):
    << Justification >>
    1) Why would these hands be playable?
    2) What value do they add to/remove from a range?
    << Pre-Flop Scenario >>
    3) How does stack sizing affect your decision to get involved in a pot with these hands?
    4) How does position and number/style of opponents factor in to your play?
    5) How do pre-flop bets affect your overall strategy or goal when playing these pockets?
    << Tactics >>
    6) What board textures are favorable/unfavorable?
    6a) What boards hit your range hard vs those that hit your hand hard?
    7) How does stack sizing or SPR affect post-flop play of these hands?
    8) In what circumstances is building the pot favorable to playing a small pot?

    What obvious questions am I missing here?
