With 2 limpers to me I'd limp in if I think the blinds won't raise it up. Is that bad?

I muck it too and I don't think it's bad at all. We are often dominated. Btw I think I'm folding this turn too. Our acegkr is too bad with no reads :/.

I'd guess that if he doesn't have you crushed, he's getting frisky with something like K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]x [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], or a medium pair. If you think there's a 1/3 chance that you're good, it might be worth it to peel on the turn and call the river on a non- [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Just throwing it out there. You'd get some information out of it anyway, but the pot size may not justify it.

I would never fold here preflop. I'm not sure what the avg VPIP of people in this game is but I'll venture to guess that folding A3s otb after 2 loose limpers is a mistake.

And yes I would fold the turn.

Readless, I fold this. You're representing top pair, and he's saying he's got that beat. You're getting 4-1 on a showdown, and without a read saying otherwise, I'm not taking those odds on him bluffing/semibluffing CR:ing the turn.
