Default How easy is this fold?

Canterbury 15/30 (9 handed)
a bad player limps in MP, tight, decent player to his left raises, 2 folds to me in the SB and I look at A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 = super easy
10 = pry it from my hands.

4... unless i'm feeling frisky, i fold this...the only real argument to be made for calling here is that he's trying to isolate the limper w/ qj or kt or something... you say he's decent... how often is he going to be raising w/ a marginal hand here to isolate?

If he opens up his raising quite a bit to iso the bad player then i'd probably call this, esp with 2/3 small blind.

maybe this is a leak of mine, but i think this is a margainal call, but still a call.

I would rather 3-bet than call here. first of all you get it 3-handed and second of all, if the flop goes bet-call after you've 3-bet, it's hard for him to keep calling with AJ or AQ. most "decent" players aren't loosening up enough with their raising standards to make up for the idiot. ATo is one of those really [censored] hands against a raise, like QJo and KJo. we tend to forget about this stuff from playing short, but you're dominated almost always, so I'd fold it

I'd guesstimate that your outs are good once in 5 times vs an isolation raise. You're OOP so you get reverse implied odds. In the heat of battle I'd probably call but in post game analysis it's a fold.
