Ace Suited UTG

[colgin]

Villain is loose and very passive.

Seems to me he was calling with low PP or ace high. I don't see how you could've played this any different.

Sorry for posting such a straight forward hand. Once I get more acclimated to 6-max I will try to post more interesting ones (although yesterday's 88 hand got a lot of discussion going) but now I am trying to confirm that plays that seem basic to me in fact are so.

This seemed like a pretty straight forward value betting scenario but I just wanted make sure nobody had a different view. Also, I thought raising A8s UTG in a five-handed game was fine but just wanted confirmation of that as well.

FWIW, villain had Q7o and MHIG.

[spydog]

No problem. Keep posting. It's good to sometimes post basic hands because if you are misplaying them it could be a huge hole.

I fold this preflop.. it's close 5 handed though..

Yes, you have to keep firing there.

Yes. You wouldn't give up a lot by folding it, but I think it's profitable.

Nice hand.

[GetThere1Time]

Easy raise for me.

[Digs]

5 handed that's an easy raise pf.

6 handed I do both, default is raise though. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

First in 5-handed my defaults are 66, A8s, K9s, QTs, JTs, A9, KT, and QJ. No limping.

[JrJordan]

Seems pretty standard. Not sure what the question is.

My first reaction was "why is he posting such a mundane hand?"

Then I read through the thread and realized it was virtually everyone's reaction.

5 handed, this is an easy raise.
