2/4 live game
Hero has 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in MP. UTG drunk LAG limps, Hero limps, 2 LP weak-fish people limp, SB (2+2'er) completes, and BB checks. flop (6 players) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG drunk LAG bets, Hero ??? How bad is raising here? UTG has been known to lead with anything from a gutshot to a set, and the fish behind generally call with any piece of the board or draw. |

[/ QUOTE ] well, if they're calling with any piece of the board, then they're probably crushing you. i prefer calling and turning an 8 |

Re: raising bottom pair into five people
LOL. Raising is awful.
You live in Las Vegas and you know how to play, I assume. Even if you are playing against poor players, your bottom pair wont stand up against 5 other players. Particularly with 2 high cards on the board. You are behind in this hand. Fold. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] 5 outs to 2 pair or a set, 1.5 for the backdoor flush, 0.5 for our 2-gapper straight draw. That's 7 outs needing about 5.7SB to call and we're being offered 7. Even with some discount and not closing the action I think this is an easy peel. |

Re: raising bottom pair into five people
Calling > Raising > Folding. Folding is particularly bad with all of your outs. I call.
Edit: Ignore the last sentence. |

Re: raising bottom pair into five people
or let's be realistic and discount our very weak two pair draw and our practically nonexistant backdoor straight draw because it will put TJQK on the board.
fold it up. |

[/ QUOTE ] I still think it's worth a call. I expect one or both fish to call and pad for us and the SB to fold. I'm done if SB checkraises and UTG makes it 3 though. |

Right now you're probably getting 5 or 6 to 1 realistically. The pot is small and you have bottom pair with 4 players to act behind you. I think it's an easy fold. |
