fold preflop - you need a read that BTN limp folds often to make this raise profitable and at these stakes few villains limp fold OTB so we ought to expect hte limp call more often than not.

Given that button open limped he has a small pair or suited/offsuit connectors here lots and htat flop hits his range.

Flop bet is good (if a little small) Turn is OK (tho $3.50 is a better size), tho I'd probably give up here and c/f turn.

c/f the river he's very rarely calling all the way down and then pushing OTT of a river bet with a hand that loses to A6 here.

The problem here is we are OOP. Wecan't tell if we are ahead/behind easil until lots is invested in the pot - and Axs is drawing hand - playing drawing hands OOP is trouble with a capital EVERYTHING.

Thanks Matrix. I've read some of the strat post and havn't seen much on how to play SB and BB except for 'play tight'. Is this how you play the SB/BB? I mean I robotically raise with axs if folded to me in mp-lp; with 1 or 2 limpers in SB I find it hard to lay it down and thus opt for a standard raise as I will usually have the best hand in that spot and often take it down there.
