A9s utg....play along please! what it do
 

live 7.50/15. i was on the tail end of a 10 hour session so i was real tired at this point, so please forgive me if the details are wrong....but lets play along eh?

game conditions: table is loose and passive as usual for this game. you are up like 6 racks and people might be gunning for you. your preflop raises arent getting too much respect (cause after all you're a LAG [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) but no one seems to be 3 betting you, cuz maybe they fear your stack or somethin' (LOL).

so you get A9s utg. lets say folding is out of the question (cause then the play along would suck) so do we raise or call?

I think that in a game like this you should just limp. ATs is a raise.

If I am staying I limp, if it is the last hand, I raise. I love to be loosey goosey on the last hand of a session.

I don't because a) it's all one long session and b) I love money.

Just limp, you don't mind calling a raise from someone else.

Alright, in the actual game I went with the consensus here and I limped as well. Before I continue with the play along, I was wondering, is there any justification to raise PF with this hand? Is ATs really that much better than A9s?

ATs is quite a bit better than A9s. You can make a straight using both cards.
