Dear All,
I always make wrong decision on the above cards. Which one can we call before the flop? I prefer K9 but with no other bet, I'll call yet the losing chance is still big.

Any comments?
the question is : What you are playing? Is it cashgame, is it tournament?
Cashgame you can forget about almost all of them. You may play A9 or A7 in an unraised pot from late positions such as Cutoff+. All other positions or action before you can muck them.
In tournaments it depends a little. Playing them on value is dumb. But if the time of stealing or you being shortstacked they can get really usefull in the right situations to steal some blinds.

Yeah.. maybe i did not do some basic reading b4 playing.. I m playing mostly in freerolls, sometimes won few cents.. the problem is that, i always lose to smaller cards especially in the initial stage.. and i found that i can not play just higher cards in freerolls happened so many times, fold j6, flopped j66 and another 1, why they always put all in in the initial stage.. i have no chance at all 2 play i recognise that most of players that made a big win in the initial stage are those that play whateva cards.. only that usually they'll be gone halfway.
but the nice part is that, the final table usually filled by players with higher cards last night i lost to a woman, ak pairs lost to 92 flush.. lol.. it was ok.. she took the right way to beat me.. that was FB freeroll, people are from everywhere right? lol luckily i still earned few cents..
now i m thinking that i have to change my strategy from time 2 time.. n e way, thanks all
