I'll kick it off....

[TheShootah]

Playing in an O8 sng....I get dealt A /images/graemlins/club.gif 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif in late position and limp with about 5 people limping ahead of me (super loose game).

The Flop comes 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

The action is something like check check bet call raise when it's up to me. Lay it down or call? I layed it down, thinking the full house draw isn't worth calling a double bet, and I am only playing for half of the pot right now. Waddaya think?

Good fold. At these loose Omaha/8 games, they're liable to have trash like 8877, which would leave you completely screwed. At best, you have 4 outs to half the pot.

[TheShootah]

Thanks, that's what I thought....Turns out the next two cards were sevens....hehehe...I still stand by the fold though. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Klak]

anyone actually know the odds for this hand? lets see... (6/45)+(6/44)=.27 pot odds are only about 5-1(not really sure how many people were in). but since you are only likly to get half, i think you fold.

I would have raised that preflop - in a SnG you can just sit around waiting for A2's or you'll blind away. With 5 limpers you know they're playing some real cheese even though your high kind of sucks, in a SnG sometimes you gotta push those small edges whenever possible.

[Truck II]

A2 with nothing else? I'd only limp from late position.

I think it's a good fold you made.

[TheShootah]

I normally do with raise with the A2, but I thought in this case since I have nothing else that I will just limp in and see the flop.

It's a sit and go, you must use a more aggressive strategy because of ever increasing blinds.

In fact, when it gets heads up I go all in/raise preflop (PL SnG) about 90% of the time.

The fold on the flop is pretty standard.

[Moneyline]

I would fold as well for a double bet.

Hi Shootah:

I think it's an easy fold.

Best wishes,
Mason

[TheShootah]

Thanks Mason! What if it was one bet?

I agree with raising. You're against 5+ limpers, even if you were to get quartered on your low the raise would still be profitable. And of course if you miss the flop so you lost an extra SB...

[djr]

with just one bet, you're getting about 4:1 (roughly 8 SB in the pot, but you only can get 1/2 the pot) on your call immediately (probably better since others will overcall). WIth 6 outs (best case), you have 6.5:1 to make your boat. Factor in implied odds and I'd say it's marginal whether to take one off or not. If you missed the turn, you would have to fold though.
