4/8 preflop decision

River2Pair · #1 12-09-2004, 05:27 PM

Live SoCal. Game is good for the most part, good mix of retards and wackos. Except player UTG is a very strong, solid player, who from all indications, normally plays higher than 4/8. Can be a little tricky once in a while, but usually bets his hand strong when he has something he likes.

Table has been averaging 5-7 players to the flop. UTG limps. He plays very few hands in EP, and when he does, its about 50/50 raise, or call. One more call to me in MP, and I have AJo. My move?

I don't know! Help!

Certainly don't fold.

I doubt there is much of a difference either way EVwise between raising or calling.

If im playing this, with 2 limpers to me, im raising it. If he has a tight enough image, he may get some others out. What does EP limp with? If he'd raise with AQo or better, this is an easier raise. What's his loosest hand he'd limp with. After that, figure any coldcallers have worse hands until told otherwise.

I'd raise. You've got a good chance of flushing out any small pairs to your left and you'll get a better idea of what he's sitting on. If he calls you will have to proceed cautiously if you flop an A....but you'll have position on him.
