Hi all,
A situation which comes up fairly frequently is when someone open raises in middle-late position, gets 1 or more cold callers and I'm in the big blind with a marginal hand, but getting great pot odds. Likewise when there are a few limpers and I'm in the small blind. I'm trying to figure out when I should be throwing these away and when I should call. Is there an easy way to figure out (or rules of thumb) about what hands would show a profit in this situation? Here are some examples: 1.) I'm BB, MP1 raises, MP2 calls, Button calls, SB calls (so I'm getting 9:1). I have: a.) J5s b.) 98o c.) 72s d.) 54o 2.) I'm BB, MP2 raises, SB calls (so I'm getting 5:1). a.) 98o b.) 54o c.) 34s d.) K7o 3.) I'm SB, MP2 limps, CO limps, Button limps (so I'm getting 9:1). a.) 98o b.) 34s c.) K7o d.) 72s Thanks for your help! D5 |

1) I would call with J5s/98o most of the time, 72s some of the time. I have a real hatred for hands like 82s, 72s though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
2) I would probably fold everything except 34s in this situation. 3) If I'm pretty sure I'm seeing a flop here (i.e. the BB doesn't raise much), I'll complete with all except K7o. |

(1) I call with everything but 54o and sometimes not 72s
(2) Fold 'em all. Even if it's a steal, I don't want to play against the thief AND the SB. (3) Call with everything but K7o |

1) I think I would call with all of these. The 2 suited hands are easy calls, I think, as I will hit 2 pair, trips, a flush or a flush draw 15% of the time, or roughly 5.5:1 against. So 9:1 is plenty. The unsuited connectors, I the odds that I will flop a straight draw, straight, 2pair, or trips are 7.8:1 against, so it's still a pretty easy call.
2) I think I would fold all of these, though I would ponder over 34s a bit. 3) I would complete with all of them except K7o. |

I'm in the big blind with a marginal hand [/ QUOTE ] To start I really do not consider any of these marginal hands.

To start I really do not consider any of these marginal hands. [/ QUOTE ] Granted I used the term somewhat loosely. Most marginal hands I would complete here without a second thought. I meant marginal in this situation. They are generally poor hands. |

It is 6.2:1 against for offsuit connectors if you remove all monotone flops. |

I fold everything in every situation except 54s. J5s and 98o are borderline.
