Markus:

Very easy fold preflop.

Post flop is fine.

BTW, post your 1/2 hands in the micro forum.

Welcome to the forums!

I think you can consider folding offsuit Aces in the BB to a raise like this (clearly this guy's not stealing - many limpers - and without a read that he's a complete maniac, his most likely hand is a bigger Ace or big pocket pair; if a bigger Ace, you're drawing to an 8, which has almost no chance to win a multiway pot anyway).

Once you're there, I like the flop raise. When everyone else folds and SB only calls, I'd feel pretty good about my hand.

On the turn, you have a very tough decision. With a very good read, you could lay this down, but unless it's ironclad, I think you need to look him up in a pot this size.

Hello all,

yeah i think the mistake was to call the raise. I re read WLLH from Jones and he said the same about Axo.
What would you guys think is the minimum to call with offsuite A like AJo or AQo?
