So I'm guessing you would call here. I was one of the minority of folders for question 3, fearing domination from AJ, AT, or A9s from the TAG. Anyone else agree with my reasoning? What if the EP limper was very tight/passive?

i like folding 3 here because i think ur up against a better ace possibly or even if ur not with all the players to act behind u that someone could raise and make the hand too expensive to play unless there are alot of CC after the raiser then it would be alright.

I went Fold/Call/Fold

Situation 1: It all depends if the loose players behind you are aggressive, in that case it's an easy fold. You know they are going to be involved in the pot somehow, and I don't like being involved with Ace-small in a multiway pot.

Situation 2: I see no problem limping here. I don't like a raise here because the loose-passive players will call your preflop raise anyway, so why not get in cheap? Those loose/passive players could be limping with anything, and there's a good chance that your hand is the best at this point. Since you won't be worrying about the pot being raised behind you, limping is a good play.

Situation 3: You are most likely to be dominated by the tight-aggressive limper. If an ace comes on the flop, be prepared the majority of the time to lose some chips.
