I was being ironical.
My honest thoughts about this hand are that hero screwed up by limping PF and only calling on the flop. Allowing 35xx or 36xx or whatever to hang around is the mistake here. |

Why no flop raise?

Because you want worse lows to call, not be chased out.

Why no flop raise? [/ QUOTE ] Without much going for high a lot of people just call here with the bare nut low draw hoping to get multiway action. Also, the low draw isn't protected so it's vulnerable. |

he leads into a loaded field w/no low there and a a few low draws.
turn is the ace and he fires again, this just doesn't seem like an open-ender betting the flop, unless he's got a made high to go along with it. probably a flopped set/2pair hand who made a weak low with the ace. i wish i knew the math here. . .look to chop w/any low card on the river. |

beset,
given your read, i dont think this is as clear a fold as everyone says. there are a ton of hands that an loose aggressive player with a limit HE background could be betting. in fact, there are quite a few hands that i, even as a supertight player, would bet in his spot on the turn against only one opponent that your A299 would actually be ahead or getting more than proper odds to call. on the turn, i'm mostly certainly betting 56 with diamonds here with or without a pair, any two pair on the flop, and even A2 with no high. while i agree the pot is probably too small to make a stand a significant minority of the time, one should not entirely dismiss the albeit small possibility of a scoop. against aggressive players at these limits, i think you give up way too much if this is an instant fold everytime. respectfully, temp |
