Default Re: Tough decisions with kickers

First of all, if playing online, I wouldn't raise 3xBB when on the button with A, 10. I would've just called. If SB and/or BB raised 3xBB, I would even fold A, 10 after placing the BB value if unsuited. The limpers may be calling with Ace-rags and most likely made two pair, A, 9 or A, 4 in this case. Even when playing online, when guessing the hands of limpers in the SB and BB after a strong bet or re-raise coming from them, you HAVE to consider the fact that their cards can be rags and that they've hit two pair the least. Even if you have notes on the BB player currently betting big that he's a bad player, that he overbets the pot, it is not sufficient info for you to call. Around 85% of strong bets and re-raises are because they do have a strong hand. Why bother with such an unfavorable odd. The only way I would call this bet is if the BB player had lost a big hand in a previous hand and is mostly on tilt, otherwise it is an easy fold.
