BB check up, what am I folding
 

Got back into the swing of things playing short handed again online.

Really had no hesitation with the exception of my play out of the big blind. So in the face of an EP or MP raise with no reads, getting 5.5 to 1 in the BB, today I was doing:

57s : easy call
34s: easy call
A5o: called and wondered if it was that obvious
J2s: called and felt it could be a fold
K8o: called and felt it could be a fold

I think I only folded T2o and 72o in these situations. Leak ? Should I be folding more ?

Re: BB check up, what am I folding
 

I fold K8o and A5o in a heartbeat (dominatilly). J2s is closer, but also a fold for me.

well the question becomes, what odds do you need to be getting preflop to call A5o ? At some point it's clearly still worth it. And at 5.5 to 1, what kicker are you calling with the A ? A9o ? ATo ?

Re: BB check up, what am I folding
 

At a 6-max table I will only call A5o from the BB HU, and sometimes 3-handed with the SB. Once more people or worse position come in, you are looking for straight, trip, and fh odds, as the rest of your postflop earn will be a wash at best.

so there is a raise and a late position caller since getting 5.5:1 right? I fold all those unless I am upset at losing and want to win quick. HU I call all three, sometimes folding J2s.

I think folding 57s getting 5.5 to 1 is a pretty big mistake, but I have little in the way of math to back it up...
