A9o - 2 limpers - I have some beef

[blubster]

I was wondering what your thoughts are on the hand below. I raised A9o from the CO with 2 limpers. I remember a post David Ross made about A9o in LP and the MAJORITY of you said FOLD with 2 limpers, but I'm starting to get a feel for 6 Max since I've been playing it more and from what I've seen the crap people play in 6 Max in early positions I think the majority of the time I'm ahead here so why not raise? Just wondering what the rationale is for folding this. Appreciate any input.thanks

how playable A9o is for me changes a lot based on my view/feel for the table - i think raising 2 limpers is fine - you get to buy the button with good chances you have the best hand and ensuring the blinds pay to play - lots to like

bet the turn unless you think this guy is good odds to take a shot with garbage you beat - oohhh - actually i missed the flush draw - maybe what you did is better now...

I don't understand why you'd bet the flop but not the turn. You have a better chance of taking it down on the turn than you did on the flop.
