Default I\'m a weak-tight girly-man with puny muscles

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Eric is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Eric calls, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, Eric calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, CO folds, BB calls, Eric calls.

Flop: (13.40 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, Eric checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, BB folds, Eric folds, UTG+2 calls.

MP2 is loose-passive, no other reads.

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

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.

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.

Fold preflop.

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.
