Re: fold x2, but how\'d I play the rest?
I disagree with limping in hand one with either A9o or A8o.
I get my self into real problems on seemingly safe boards. There are simply too many players at loose games in LA and Vegas that will limp with A10-AQ, and even in the blinds, not raise with AK if there are lots of players in the pot. The A9/A8o hands become very difficult to play in these situations when an Ace flops and tend to cost quite a few bets. All of the sudden these loose players become very aggressive with the line of thought being..."ok, no one raised before flop and certainly this idiot would have raised before the flop with AK like he always does and he plays tight so he couldn't have two pair so my hand must be best and I should raise again". I agree with the reasons for not raising them pf. So therefore, it is easiest to simply muck the hand and wait for a better opportunity.
