Default Re: Slightly inept preflop questions I SHOULD know the answers too.

I've been working on loosening up my PF play, but I'd still fold all of these and not think twice about it. I tend not to do more than rudimentary math, but I believe the math will bear it out.

Only close one is the Q3o - you're getting 11 to 1 on a call, but you really need to flop two pair or better to even stay in after the flop, so even those odds may not be good enough.

Edit: the first hand may be getting great odds, but that's tempered by the UTG raise AND the fact that everyone else thought they had good enough hands to cold-call. You're essentially buying a lottery ticket there against a minefield of aces, kings, connectors and suited cards.
