Default You raise for the first time in an hour? I cold call!

Loose, weak 2-4 table at Party. There are two other reasonably solid types, one to my immediate right.

In this hand, I'm the button, three players limp, tight player raises in the cut off and I have A9s.

Call, fold or three-bet?

Easy Fold. Three betting may isolate the TAG / Rock which could easily have you dominated.

If the BB calls the raise, which is likely in this game, and the limpers all call -- a virtual certainty -- I'll be getting 5-1 on my suited ace. And there WILL be callers if I flop good. Still a fold?

I fold w/A9s but would consider 3 betting an ATs on the button.

Call or fold. IMO 3-betting sucks.

I'd still fold A9s here.

I don't think it's as easy a fold as the others are saying. The tight player who raised, is he a rock? Or is he position aware and possibly raising with a wide range of hands? I don't know that calling or folding are particularly correct, it sounds like a pretty break-even situation to me.

If he is truly tight, this is an easy fold, and I'm also folding AT, AJ, and AQo. Well, probably not AQo. I'd probably 3-bet that. But I am too loose.
