MP2 is loose-passive, no other reads.

The limp-3bettor freaked me out, but this is an easy call, right?

Fold preflop.

[DemonDeac]

muck this garbage preflop in EP

[whodaman]

yea you really should fold this preflop but on the flop i would call 1 and get ready to release the turn if unimproved

[eric5148]

This was not a very aggressive game for 5/10, the limp-3bet really came out of nowhere. I'm not folding Axs in EP.

Lose money then.

Limping preflop is marginal, but I don't think it is as bad as people are making it out to be. I don't play 5/10, so it may be different there, but in 2/4 or 3/6 I think it is fine. On the flop you are getting 14:1, so you can call it and try to hit one of your 5 outs (only need 8:1 to call). The straight posibility lowers your effective outs, but the pot is still big enough to cover the odds of winning.

Agreed, but since you saw the flop this is an easy call. You have five clean outs(barring a floped set) and your geting 14-1.

Preflop: fold this junk. I might consider limping UTG+1 with A8s or A9s. However, I am not going to be first in with this terrible 3 kicker - even if it is suited - too many aces behind you will make you pay.

Flop: 5 outs - must call. This fold might be worse than the flop call. You might even consider check raising if you think the limp re-raiser could have AK. If you get 3-bet fold on the turn without catching an A or 3.

The PF call is debatable. IMO at a LPP table it's perfectly fine.

The flop fold is pretty bad though, I think you have to see the turn with the pot being as big as it is.

open fold for value.

I say CR the flop. Folding is clearly wrong since you're getting 14:1 on an 8:1 shot (if you aren't ahead already). Since you have to call and the pot is huge, a raise doesn't have to improve your chances of winning very much to be correct. Also, if MP2 is passive enough that he wouldn't bet here w/o a hand that beats you, then hopefully he's passive enough that he'll check behind you on the turn (maybe fearing a CR from the straight). If he's aggressive enough to bet the flop with a straight draw, then maybe you can get UTG+2 to fold overcards to your pair.

In general, I don't give too much credit to limp-reraisers - more often than not its just someone being a goofball (granted this is what I see live). Especially after the flop check, I think the chances that its a huge hand go down.
