Default Re: Final table - A9s from UTG+1

[ QUOTE ]
I fold this hand preflop from this position at an 8 person table. Raising is not a good option because of the good possibility of a re-raise with so many to act behind you. Limping is horrible, because you will be forced to just fold the 45K chips away when someone makes a 3X BB steal-raise behind you. I think folding is the right move here.

I am not crazy about limping, but depending on your read, you have the option to limpraise or call if you are raised. If you think it is a steal raise, push. A9s is a 7-3 dog against standard raising hands, but ahead ahead of a lot of other hands. The limpriase may be tough to call.

I don't know if I would limp here, but it is not necessarily a bad play, depending on your style. I think limping is a lot better than raising. Pushing is terrible.
