Commerce 4/8
 

Live 4/8 game at Commerce. 5 people limp and I have 52s on the button. Is this a call? If it is, I figure it's pretty marginal. I wasn't sure about this one.

Yeah I think its very marginal, and not worth it. 45s should be playable but this is just too weak.

i play almost exclusively live 4/8 and i would very, very, very rarely play it anywhere but an unraised big blind. unless i was on the button or had position against loose passive opponents and i thought i could pull off an outright tactical bluff, this hand is almost an auto fold. to exhibit a crazy table image i could see playing it early for action later(which is sometimes important in live games). but come on, 52s? you could probably pick a more profitable hand than this, i would save it for a powerhouse like 63s or 85s, lol.

RAISE!!! Let the limpers pay for playing against you. You have a good drawing-hand AND you have position!!! I guess you must disconnect my mouse, to balk me from raising.

Assuming they play really bad postflop and the blinds won't raise it's probably not a serious error ... but I wouldn't do it. 53s is OK.
