I've got a couple of questions about BB pre-flop plays in my first shot at 20-40.
I sat down and mucked hands for about two rounds, and then got AKo in the BB. Mid-position player (MP) raised. Solid player to my right in the SB objected for some time that MP was string-raising, then finally three-bets when the dealer kept disagreeing. I called. Should I have capped here?
Later in the night, a live player (LP) who had gone all in with pocket aces, hit a huge lucky streak. LP started raising a lot of pre-flop hands, a disproportionate number (I thought) when I was the BB -- he was one off the button when I was the BB. I generally mucked to his raises, but then got 4s5s and called a raise. Was my hand too weak to make this call correct?
