zomg preflop hand
i'm rusty-
i'm bb w/ A8s. FOUR LIMPERS (omg so many i haven't seen this many limpers since before online poker died) and then the SMALL BLIND CALLS. WOW FIVE. should i raise now or do you need reads and stuff? this is full ring .5/1 |
Re: zomg preflop hand
i check because:
- position sucks - sometimes A8s hits the board hard, but more often you hit something marginal (a pair of As with a marginal kicker or second pair) in a pot you've bloated, and did i mention you're oop? |
Re: zomg preflop hand
just check ur option

And by "better hand" I don't mean high pockets and suited broadways, I simply mean a hand that I'm going to be able to play confidently after the flop...87s might meet that criteria, fer instance. (I know you know that I know that you know this, but I put it in for benefit of the next nOOb that reads this thread and responds, "ZOMGBBQELEVEN!!!111!1 You raise 87s from the BB?!" Unless the opponents are a level of gawdawful rarely seen outside the 2/4 table at Commerce...... |

Re: zomg preflop hand
I need at least 21 limpers to raise this from the blinds.

Re: zomg preflop hand
I used to raise, but now I check. There are more than a few flops I will bet with this hand, and a few flops I will try and check raise, and a number of flops I will check/fold, and a variety of flops I will check/call.
But preflop is, well, you know..... |
Re: zomg preflop hand
I'm generally pretty happy to check here.
OOP being a good reason. Also, if i find a flop to my liking I seem to be able to either value bet, or "check&see", with much more success in an unraised pot. Does that make sense? Sarge[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] |
