Default Re: Too Aggro With A3s Here?

I generally try to avoid pushing to steal when I have significantly more than 10xbb chips. The deeper your stack is relative to the chips in the pot/blinds, the less of an impact your fold equity has on the EV of this play.

If you don't feel a standard-ish raise here (600-800) would successfully steal the pot, maybe reconsider your options.

Lately I've been treating limpers in this situation as just extra dead money to steal, as they -usually- won't come along for a raise unless they were slowplaying something (it happens). I do tighten up my stealing requirements in this situation a little bit, to account for the fools that will limp then call all-in with their KJo, low pair, or Ax type hand.

For example, if I had K5 in the SB, and it was folded around, I am definately stealing. If someone limped, though, I might let it go.
