It is possible that I could play more hands in certain types of games. For instance, if the game was really passive then I might limp a little bit more with hands like Q-J in the hope of making a straight and busting someone. But even then, I would need my opponents to have deep enough stacks that I could win a big pot, and also know that there wouldn’t be a raise by anyone on my left. In most games this is not the case so you are better off simply saving your money.
Once you get into late position, namely in the cut-off and on the Button, then things get livelier.
Whenever you sit down at any poker table, watching how the players to your immediate left and right play is very important. This is because the players to your right will be the ones who are attacking your blinds, and the players to your left will be the players whose blinds you will be potentially attacking in the future.
