just sat down, no reads. been getting killed past few days so i dropped down and the slaughter has been even worse here. do you raise this to try and knock out the field, call or even just fold it? the pot is 5BB already when it gets to me on the flop....

I like folding here. Not closing the action + chance of getting outdrawn if you hit + noninsignicant chance of drawing to runner-runner.

I must admit that a raise is tempting, as it follows on nicely from your preflop raise, suggests that you have a high overpair and might be able to fold out MP,CO and SB.
Also BB was probably betting with either top pair or a straight draw, and a raise might buy you a free card on the turn if you need it. I certainly think that you have the odds to call the flop bet, but a raise seems to improve your chances of winning. |

I let this go the first time. But if he keeps betting into PFR (especially on ragged flops and ace flops), then I start looking for raising opportunities.

I'd raise. Calling is correct due to pot odds. But raising is far better as it increases the chances of getting the pot heads-up and/or buying a free card.

If you only count half your overcards as outs you're falling short of having the odds to call. |

I like raising also, because you might also get a free card turn, plus you make people with gutshots pay more. |

I've seen all of those hands in raised pots and I play at full tables. I imagine that you'd see far more junk in 6 max. |

Its not the fact someone may also have a King+raggy pair... its the fact someone may have folded Kx preflop [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Don't assume all the kings are in the deck. Discounting is a MUST. |

[/ QUOTE ] If any of these hands are suited, yes, BB could definitely have called (not saying I would have...just saying many would). 87s and 56s seem distinct possibilities as well, in which case you're even more behind. On the other hand, A8/A7/J8/J7 (both suited and offsuit) seem perfectly possible too. I personally think this is a raise or fold situation...early in the game without a read, I would probably fold. |
