Overcard, nut-flush draw and a gutshot to a wheel. Gotta pump that. I assume that you won't take a free card though.

Re: 6max standard??
 

I usually raise A5s with 1-2 limpers from the button. Is this wrong? I'm just startin in 6-max so forgive my ignorance.

That being said I agree you should pump the pot on that flop!

A lot of people when first starting 6max make the mistake of being too aggressive. With the limpers there's no need to raise here. Limp in and take a flop.

Makes sense to me thanks. Honestly, It felt a little awkward to me. I pulled this from the Wookie's Six Max Baby Steps thread and the starting hand chart therein. Sorry for the hijack!

Re: 6max standard??
 

I like it since you may have the option of a free card should you want one.

Re: 6max standard??
 

I think this is straight outta SSHE.

Re: 6max standard??
 

FWIW, I would normally raise this preflop as well. If the limpers are are good and aggressive I'll reconsider, but then again if the limpers were good they wouldn't have limped.

Oh yeah and definitely 3-bet the flop. I am taking a free card if offered.

Re: 6max standard??
 

I play it exactly the same way up to that point. Plaenty of equity to play with. I would take the free card if I needed it on the turn. MP has shown already that he likes the flop and is not going anywhere. You might free up some outs by getting the BB out but if he is calling 2 back to him on the flop then he is likely to be staying as well. Although we still have decent equity with all our outs I would rather wait till we make our hand on the river to continue strong as by then MP will likely start firing again and we can raise him again.
