I voted fold for all except the third one, which I raise. I could see raising the second, however, depeding on how tight the limper is.

Tight aggressive button open limps? Ha - I call that one because you're giving up a lot by folding. I don't raise because I'm not crazy about playing an unsuited 5-gapper OOP with a calling station to my left. The rest look like routine folds.

1. Fold - too likely to be dominated.
2. I'll raise to isolate here. Villain sounds weak-tight.
3. Raise with the likely best hand. What tight aggressive player limps on the button? Weird.
4. Easy fold.

I think 1 and 4 are clear folds. Hand 3 is a raise IMO. If he open-limped the button he likely sucks and I would like to isolate. Hand 2 is slightly speculative, but I lean towards the fold.

hand 1 is getting 6-1 if the blinds call. not enough with a suited ace?

Re: some pf hands from my session tonight
 

Well I called hand one. With position and a semi strong hand, I think I can either hit this hand hard and win a big pot, or miss and drop it on the flop.


Hand 2 I raised. Hoping to buy the button and gain some fold equity on later streets.

Hand 3 scares me. How tight and how aggressive? Open limping from a player who seems to know what's going on scares me sometimes.

Hand 4 I folded. I've been informed in my last 2+2 game, that most guys don't defend the SB with suited J, so I've tightened up on some of my marginal hands. I don't think having postion in this one makes it worth it.

Sooted is not nearly as important as the fact that you have a dominated ace.

Do you really want to hit an ace? I'd CC with 98s or T9s. Not A8s.

I fold both the full ring hands. I don't play 6-max so I left those alone.

25 hands isn't enough to know if you should isolate him, and the fact he hasn't raised preflop in 25 hands makes it even worse.
