Not much a read. UTG has won a couple small pots so far, hasn't done anything donkish.


What's your play here?

Min-raising at this (or any level for that matter) UTG 5-handed into both huge-SB &amp; short-BB is a) donkish, or b) a hand that A4o will have little authority over pre or post-flop. I wouldn't dream of spending any of my remaining 10bb's finding out. Personally given the relative equality amongst the non-chip leader stacks, I'd fold this PF - saving every ounce of FE for open aggression...even more so with bigstack on your right.

Thanks Blue. Didn't want to throw away an Ace while I still had 10BB. Half the table was gone and I hadn't seen a flop yet. I know better now.

I definitely fold preflop.

You weren't ahead then, and you're not ahead now. Plus this flop presents virtually no FE. Check fold.
