review: hand 88

Guruman · #1 08-01-2005, 11:03 AM

HAND 88 :
Preflop: Hero is CO with 5, 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, Button calls, 1 fold, BB checks.

Flop: (5.50 SB) A, 3, A (5 players) (no club rainbow)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 bets, Hero folds

I don't like coming in with this hand even after two limpers because it has only one way to win post flop. I much prefer at least a middle suited connector or an AXs.

With a hand like 57[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] there are just far too many times when you'll have to auto-fold the flop.

Just my opinion.

This hand has at least 2 ways to win other than miracle flops, it has straight and flush potential. I agree it is a little marginal in this case though.

i'd rather be on the button with 1 more limper to play FWIW.

i'd rather have either. better position or one more player. here hero has neither.
