180man SNG Hand #2 - Gambool?

[ClaytonN]

Hero is in BB with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and 3800, good for average stack. Blinds 75-150. Table is playing very tight except for UTG+2.

UTG+2 (6000) limps. He is absolutely terrible. He was button in Hand #1, and he had 44. He has been doing insane stuff with marginal hands. Labeled as retarded, for certain.

Folded to button who limps. Few reads on button.

Back to hero, who makes it 600. UTG+2 pushes all in. Folded back to hero. Hero calls.

This is an easy fold, IMHO. You're getting 1.21:1, which is pretty awful here. I think his range consists entirely of PPs here (who does this with AK?), and you're a 1.25:1 dog to the range 22+.

So he had a low pp? 22-99?

I think I just check preflop but I suck.

That's definitely an option, but probably not against a really sucky player as really sucky players can limp in EP and then fold a lot.

I agree but you nullify some of your edge if you feel you are better then him by raising than calling an all in preflop. It's not out of the realm of possibility he limped with a big hand or feels like playing a coinflip because he has more chips than hero. Hopefully in this instance he got frisky with a worse ace and the hero doubled through.

I'd rather keep the pot small out of position. You have a good hand that plays decent in a 3 way pot and will be well disguised after the flop. Also i'm not a big fan of AQ and would rather avoid a playing it for all my chips OOP.

I probably check here most of the time but there are times when I'm raising. As you've described the opponent I think you have to call. I really hate AQ and with more chips I might fold but having only an average stack I'm willing to gamble against this player.

ive seen jerk offs do this with 9Ts and crazy [censored] like that. theres like 1500ish in the pot. you fold you have like 3200 which isnt bad. i may call but i wouldnt have raised preflop either.
