Default Re: 2nd pair weak kicker shorthanded

1.) I don't think your hand is strong enough to raise preflop, call it and play with position, or if you think the limper is some kind of loose player push it, but with your raise you just give him much to good odds to fold.

2.) check the flop or push the flop, you got an ace on board, which should scare you here. the worst thing you can do is feed a pot with second best hand. with a push you might force some weakish aces to fold.

3.) after the flop, when villain called your preflop raise and your flop bet you should start thinking that you might be beaten and don't bet the turn, but try to check it down.

4.) last call is obv. ok
