Default Re: I never know how to handle these

Cooker, the hand is definitely worth playing. A4xx rainbow on the button is playable because of position. In this case, it has excellent value with 4 already in the pot.

In a multiway pot, position means much less than in a SH pot, because you are likely to have to show down the best hand. I don't think A4 rainbow makes the best hand often enough to justify the preflop call. I don't think it is terrible to limp here, but I think it is marginal and probably a fold. I would probably play it in PL where the rewards for a big flop can just. I haven't been playing lately, so I might be somewhat off my game, but I will usually fold this with that action.
