Here is something that I can't figure what to do.
All fold to you in MP when there are 4-5 people left.
You look down and find a hand that is good heads up but you still got too many people left to act.
Hands: QJ, QJs, KJ, JTs, A9, KT, KTs....
Knowing that with each player behind you there is a 15% change that each of the 4-5 has an Ace. The chances are over 50%.
With bad players calling every ace what is one to do?
I can only think just to call because there is no one in the pot and you dont have a terrific hand. No drawing hands are going to call, or shouldnt so you should just be up against marginal.
Yet the books say if your 1st in with a calling hand in MP or LP then raise, unless I read it wrong. I can understand from CO or button but MP with so many left? of course if your KJ is suited thats ok to raise MP. Vs a Ax you are 40% to win.
