How LJ opens at 100 BB
When the action folds to the Lojack with 100 big blinds (8-max MTT with ante), the book plays 22% of hands: a raise to 2.1 BB with 22%. The other 78% fold.
Always raised: AA, AKs, AKo, AQs, AQo, AJs, AJo, ATs, ATo, A9s, A8s, A7s, A6s, A5s and 29 more.
Mixed hands (the book splits them between actions): KTo, K8s, K7s, K6s, K5s, K4s, Q8s, J8s, 97s, 87s, 44.
At this depth everything opens with a small raise; all-ins appear only later, against 3-bets.
Next to it at 100 BB: UTG+1 18%, HJ 28%. Seats closer to the button open more here, because fewer players are left to wake up with a big hand.
Closest decisions (the book opens them only part of the time): 97s 56%, 44 42%, K5s 40%, K6s 66%, K4s 34%, Q8s 68%, plus 2 more mixed hands. These are the hands worth drilling, because a small change in the opponents or the stack flips them.
