Hey guys.
I noticed that alot of people in trournaments and sng's will raise pre flop with 10, J or 10 Q or JQ purely for the fact to thin out the other players.
Is this wise as if say 3 fold 2 call then it goes to the flop that you can represent a big hand or fold if you get raised or ?

What do you suggest ?

The concept of raising to isolate just clicked did it?

In a sng it's not advised just to be splashing around in pots early on, specially with hands like J10. You're only getting called by better hands and have you usually end up having the second best hand.

Tournaments sure since you're playing in a bit deeper stacks for most of the time.

Representing a big hand on the flop is the continuation bet, works well on the right flop in position, but if you're only raising 15% of hands and still bet a flop like 2 7 9 then a wise opponent will pick up on it if you try it too often.

It is all about position. I raise will sometimes raise with any 2 cards depending on where I am sitting.
