Preflop decision in PP .5/1

[Yobz]

folded to MP1 (raised 2 of the 14 hands i have on him) who raises, folded to me in the BB. I fold ATo.
Would you call? What about ATs? AJs? Whats the minimum you would call with?

[jaxUp]

Don't fold here.

i call with ATO, AJo, and any PP. PP are played for overpair/set value depending on how big they are. with the ace i use the check/call, check/call, bet line unless i make 2 pair. i'll also call with any 2 nine or higher that are suited.

What about A9o? Where is the line drawn?

Set value heads up is not so valuable.

often times it depends on the texture of the flop as well. i might call down with 55 on a 962 rainbow flop, but not on a AKT flop.

Calling down is not the line you want to take in the 962 case.

I 3-bet.

Not calling with a pocket pair getting 3.5:1 is bad poker. This is an auto call with any pair. Hands like ATo are much more questionable because they can make 2nd best hands so often. If you flop a set, you are almost certainly going to win the hand.

If I was you I would probably fold ace-ten offsuit too. Yet, I would have called with ace-jack offsuit and ace-ten suited.
