Wow, I cannot believe that so many people are saying to fold this preflop. UTG is on any 2 and you're on the button.

An important skill to improve your game is to isolate weak limpers and you should frequently be doing it in situations like this.

Definite Raise.

I scored 30 points for playing exactly like Miles, except I just called the river. My reason for doing this is that I ignored Miles' instructions to be patient and really read the reads part, and by the time I got to #4 I had forgotten the thing about SB betting weak hands on the river. With that in mind, I agree with raising the river, but I would defintely not do so against an unknown.

I'm shocked at the number of people who want to fold this hand preflop. IMO, open-limping this is pretty ugly, but folding is just awful. We have position, a nice suited hand with some high card value (and remote straight potential), and two morans who are going to come along for the ride. If you don't try to isolate the morans in this spot, when would you?

sorry didn't notice the last few comments. only 4 out of 74 people to answer the question voted to fold preflop. i still think it's bad, but i'm not surprised at all to see this.

i am surprised to see how many people wanted to bet the turn - about 1 out of 3.
