Sorry I didn't get to this sooner... I meant to.

Looking it over, I think it's a good start, and especially if you are deep stacked, as Boobie said.

One thing that concerns me is grouping hands like AK with hands like KQs, AJs, and 99. I mean, yeah, these hands are somewhat similar in strength (although I'll pithc the KQs a LOT faster than I will the AK), but they play a lot differently in certain situations. I'm not calling a three bet with KQs UTG+1, but I'll 4 bet with AK if the situation is right. I guess your chart sort of suggests that... maybe I'm just not reading it well.

Unlike Lou, I don't have a big problem calling raises with as low as 22, depening on the stacks and if I think my opponent is capable of folding an overpair or not.

I'm not sure I like cold calling with the SCs in the CO, for example, especially the little ones like 34. I will open with all of those hands in those positions though and I will USUALLY fold to a 3 bet. If opponent three bets me a lot though and I have position, I am much more likely to call, especially with the SCs (I'll still pithc the trouble hands).

I will open with your bottom group of hands from the CO too, and occasionally from UTG+1 (but I usually fold them there). The same is true for some of your hands in the group above - I'll open with them sometimes from UTG+1 and even UTG, depending on the flow of the game, my image, my opponents, etc.

In other words, like everything else, "it depends," but I think this is a reasonable starting guide.
