Beating pf to death
This one came up today...
3 limpers (marginally loose, passive pf, post flop not very tricky) to me in either CO or Button with AQo raise or call? I'm thinking if I can get both blinds to fold, I should raise, but if I can't, I should just call. Also, if I were in BB's shoes, with 3 limpers and a raiser, would I be inclined to call with any two connected or suited? Thx! |

Re: Beating pf to death
this is so far on the raise side of the equation that whether the blinds would call 100% of the time or fold 100% of the time does not sway the decision. raiseraiseraiseraiseraiseraiseraiseraiseraise

Make it like 5 or 6 and I'd probably call, and I'd call AJo here, but this is a raise.

(I remember something about not giving others odds to call the turn if you hit TP, but if someone could explain this to me it'd be great) |

What makes AJ so much better than AQ?

Re: Beating pf to death
If I can fold the blinds, then I would be up against 3 opponents in stead of 5. I think this significant reduction warrants a raise, but if they won't fold, then there's not much equity in bloating the pot...I'm probably wrong...

Re: Beating pf to death
I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I mean, it's been ingrained that if I had AKo, I would definitely raise, I don't know what made me think AQ is so different...but apparently as Shant posted, AJ is different enough from AQ that I'd be calling with AJ...so I guess it means that if I flop a J, 6 cards can come to beat me, but if i flop a Q, only 3 can beat me?

I'm trying to understand why we don't want crappy hands calling us here, I would think that we have equity edge here if AQ.

Re: Beating pf to death
i believe this all comes from a HPFAP section that discusses limping this hand - after good players.
the guys you describe are not good, and you should take advantage of this with a great hand. i would still raise AJo behind these guys. i'd limp ATo. i would raise T9s. |
