C'mon, let's playalong nOObs and sophs! A9s

Vets, most of the decisions in this hand are pretty fundamental, so let's let the folks with < 500 posts do most of the work, m-kay, thx.

Reads:

*MP1 is LPP. Hasn't been here long, but has played about half his hands, pfr prolly about 10, but it's not his pfr hands he's hitting with. He's running hot, up a few bets. He doesn't seem to really know what he's doing except inasmuch as he can recognize when HE has a good hand.

*Button is TAP. I've got a decent number of hands on him, but no notes, stats 20/14/0.6.

*Blinds seem reasonable, but I don't have a lot on them. Neither has impressed me as over-the-top loose.

Might as well start with the first decision.

That's a joke, right? Against someone limping with what well might be 50% of hands, we have a solid edge.

Raise.

lol @ ppl replying so far

Raise preflop.

[bozlax]

Sorry, Miles, it should start off "2 folds" (see below).

Everybody else, isn't READING a prerequisite of participation? Anyway, yeah, raise it up, probably buy the button and isolate the loose-passive limper. I've got an edge on him right now, and he'll tell me postflop if he has a hand.

Uh-oh. TAG comes to life. Now what?

[fretelöo]

Call. You likely don't have an equity edge with your lowish s00ted ace, so a cap is out of the question.

Call and flop a bunch of backdoor draws to make this at least remotely interesting (just taking over your usual part...).

I don't like the PFR one bit. I limp along happily, but we're playing this for implied odds, not because we want to either get to showdown HU with MP or because we plan on him folding.

Edit: You also don't have an edge on an LP limper HU.
