Just moved to table is this good or a fold without reads?

I dont like it.

He already put in 1/3 of his stack and is likely calling here, I dont want to be crippled with A6 when I will be in good position for steals in just a couple hands.

He is inclined to make a move, but A6 doesn't crash his range.

Re: Simple little BSB hand. A6s
 

Nah. He's new to the table, he's going to get odds to call with JK and hands you are only slrightly ahead of, of course, hands that crush you get it in as well. Basically, Aces, you shouldn't be restorting to big preflop moves with marginal holdings for half your stack just because it's a button raise or because the pot is big.

Fold. You got no FE with a hand that can be easily dominated and is just slightly ahead of other hands.

i think if you want to play this hand you should go for a stop and go.

Re: Simple little BSB hand. A6s
 

Fold this preflop. He has &lt;10BB and is making a "standard" raise. He is not folding and with his chipstack he is not making that raise with too many hands that don't have A6 beat. And as others mentioned those hands are KJ, KQ and hands like that that you just barely are ahead of. Not a good place to hope to be 60/40 for half your stack imo.

With no reads I tend to only do this with A8+ min.
