a hypothetical pf theory question

[Guruman]

you post the bb.

four limpers in, and the sb completes.

you look down and see the A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Your other card is a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

you consider what the worst offsuit hand that you can raise will be...

[2+2 wannabe]

I like this question

AQ is the lowest for me - but AJ....I really want to raise it a lot but don't (I'm sure I'm giving up a lot)

p.s. could you edit it to "hypothetical" please [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[Guruman]

i type good.

[Wynton]

Against table of unknowns, I raise with AQ, though I probably should raise with A10.

I've been having trouble making myself raise out of BB when I think I should.

[WarBus]

With 5 others in the pot and being OOP, AKo would be my lowest and I wouldn't raise this that often. With that many players, I'm happy waiting to see the flop and having the strength of my hand concealed if the flop is favorable.

warbus...you are passing up a big equity edge preflop if you don't raise AK out of the bb...even 6 handed..

[Peter Harris]

if they are donkeys, i'll go as low as A9.
if they are loose, i'll go AT.
if they are tight but odd, AJ.

I'll autoraise AQ/AK/AA.
