Default Re: Marginal Situation

Depending on the table, I play this pre-flop in this situation. You get a chance to steal the blinds, and you have a good enough hand to play if you get called.

Now you have to bet the flop for at least your pre-flop bet. You have no hand and a badly-compromised backdoor draw, plus just two aces to hit for top pair. If you're called, shut it down. If you're re-raised...oh well. You took a shot. And know that he knows you tried to steal. Then you can pummel him with a good hand later on.
