Does anybody limp/play this hand?

Is this even questionable?

way too easy fold, ure out of position...u might limp on position looking for the nut flush.

TStokes · #3 05-20-2005, 07:14 PM

same as he said im folding this every time

if you could limp later it would be worth it, but early io think it's a good fold

I second these motions...hell i'll fold on the button just to avoid the ace flopping. I hate decisions.

Just to hit it home, fold.

I would usually fold, but calling isn't nearly as bad as everyone is making it out to be, especially against opponents who may throw their money at you if you hit a good flop.

If you call you'll have to play well postflop when you make a medium strength hand, such as pair of aces with weak kicker, a flush draw or top pair with the 7. If you don't play well in these situations, then it's probably best to learn, however I would still fold this. I would call in a Multi Table tourney however.

I agree. A lot of times in a P-Stars $10+1, your call here will result in 5 (or more) people seeing the flop, play for two pair or a flush, and try to see free cards cheap if you get a flush draw.
