Re: 5/10 hand at Bellagio

Making these image plays in a live game where you're gonna have 3-4 callers preflop when you have less than 100BBs is lighting money on fire. As played, I think you can fold, but I'd felt this fairly quickly vs most.

bellagio 5/10 fish are pot odds monkeys. it takes one calling station moron or someone with a playable hand to make a coldcall to get the others to tag along. if there's no one to start the chain of calls, you have a good chance to take it down preflop. if someone cold calls, then all the limpers come along. I've seen people fold hands like AQs last to act because of no pot odds against a standard raise.
so you've gotta be really aware of the table dynamics to minimize the chance that a chain gets started. if you do things right you've got a good chance to take it down pf or isolate the one guy at the table who plays any two cards to a raise as opposed to most of the dudes who only play any two cards for a limp
