Default Fold this A5s when no one else stays in?

Table is loose and pre-flop raiser has 30% PFR after 5 hands. Stick around or bail?

I fold this preflop.

But since you have already limped, call this raise. If you don't hit the flop hard(strong draw, 2 pair or better) check/fold.

Don't post a read if it's "30% PFR over 5 hands." That's not a read.

Folding this is terrible. The limp PF may be debatable, but whatever, I think it's fine -- as long as you don't consider folding to a later raise.

Table is loose - so normally there are limpers behind him, there's not much PF raising, and the pot has 4+ other players. I think a case can be made for limping this any day of the week from any position.

This is micro remember, flush draws alone will pay for this limp in EP [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Whatever you do at this point, don't fold it for one more bet.

Is there more to this hand? Seems kinda silly to post just a preflop decision.

And let's say only a flush draw comes and 1 player drops? Is this still an easy call? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Dude if his PFR is 30% over 50 hands then what are you worried about?

You'll be getting 5-1 to see the flop with what's most likely the best hand. If you're not happy with that then why did you call in the first place?

This hand doesn't have to be multiway to show a profit.
