A6s CO hand

[Allan]

here is one from Party 3-6


UtG+2 limps and I raise in the CO with A6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif's button and blinds fold and it is HU to the flop of

A85 rainbow. I get bet into and I raise wich gets called.

turn is 6. check call.

river is an 8. check check....


Thoughts?

I'd lay off the pfr unless UTG+2 was a special player (weak tight and loose preflop) and the blinds were tight but you played the hand fine postflop. I don't see a better hand folding the river.

[dirty_dan]

I would have folded preflop, but if you want to play it the raise is a must. Rest of the hand looks ok.

[Allan]

So do you call or fold?

I like preflop.

I'd have flat called the flop with the intention of raising if I improve, betting if checked to, and calling otherwise.

I'd have bet the river.

[J.R.]

I fold if UTG+2 is good, and while somewhat rare, I could see calling if UTG+2 is real bad but the blinds are quite loose and bad post-flop, but in general I think its raise or fold.

[Clarkmeister]

Its definitely not raise or fold. Its raise or call.

[J.R.]

I suppose if UTG+2 won't limp with a better A the call is OK, but I tend to find that isn't the case often enough, but I'm no expert.
