What do you think of my limp in from early/mid position? Easy fold to a bet and a raise on the turn though right?

Yes, fold on the flop when it comes back to you raised.

Preflop, this is normally a hand I would raise with first in.

i don't like the limp in... raise =)

bisonbison · #4 07-29-2004, 04:21 AM

I'd raise preflop and then bet the flop.

I just folded this hand in ep a few hands ago. Learned something again today- sweet!

It's too good to fold. If you raise, you will be called by dominated hands. That's the key to AJo's profit.

Nemesis · #7 07-29-2004, 04:46 AM

However when it's raised you can't call with it because the odds are too high you're dominated... ironic isn't it. That's the Gap Theory at work =) that's what i learned from tournament poker for advanced players.

Bison,

You bet the flop, as would I probably, but do you call down if raised? Where do you draw the line?

Tilted Litt · #9 07-29-2004, 06:52 PM

So Raise Pre-Flop, and if I bet on the Flop, can I call a Raise? especially since a Raise would thin out the crowd.

You don't have to bet every flop, but on this board there are few draws, your outs are likely to be good, and getting someone to fold a gutshot or a Q or K would be good. I'd call a raise and probably let it go on the turn unimproved.
