Default Re: A5s: River raise?

Weak A (2 outs) + BDFD (1.5 outs) + BDSDs (0.5 outs) = 4 outs. You need like 11:1 and the price is 9.5:1

You're not going to make a huge hand on the turn - often you're paying again to draw or making a 2nd best pair, OR people get scared of the Ace - so implied odds are against you.

That's why flop is a fold, though a loose call is tempting in hopes you'll get a free card due to all those callers.

River could go either way - read based - but I'd usually just call. Easy bet if he checked obv
