A6 suited, very interesting hand

[Joe Tall]

You should be limping with Axs in nearly any position in a loose-passive preflop game.

I limped UTG w/A7s yesterday in a 10/20 game at Foxwoods. 4 players limped behind.

Call preflop.

Fold the flop.

The others have already laid out the reasons.

What do you do Joe if the A flops and someone calls your bets or your raises, or bets over your checks? How far are you willing to go with A7? If there's no draws and board kickers are split higher and lower than your 7, would you pay off or lat it down?

SA,

For a newbie, you are asking all the right questions. Keep it up!! It's the only way to get better!

The situation you have brought up is very dynamic. It depends on a number of factors.

What type of players are betting into you.
How many opponents are to act before/behind you.
What type of player is raising you.
What might your opponents think about your bet. (image - live play it's stronger).
What type of hand may raise this flop whereas there could be a late-position draw and your top-pair is good.

Every situation is different and it will take good post flop skills and experience to know when to lay down.

Peace,
Joe Tall
