No reads. What do u think about the second berrel and do i have to call a push?

i fold this hand preflop.... i know its short handed but UTF im not raising this hand. yes you have to fold to a push, yes i second barrel A LOT. i used to be a one barrel guy and then check it down but i win many more pots firing again. people call on the flop with all kinds of nothing leaving money to be picked up when they whiff the turn. i still dont like this spot. i know you picked up a draw but i make this second barrel and without i club on the river im done, and i fold a shove.

Fold preflop.

It is a fold unless A is out when it is close. Stack sizes are awkward and I could check/call the turn, you have good implieds although position sucks. How about crai? It is not a second barrel but I find it sexy and scary here, T9 just hit as well and it is part of your range too if A5s is? A high is an additional bonus, you would charge all the draws.

Pf raise is fine, however I don´t like a second barrel on this board with two broadways and all kinds of possible pair + gutshot combos.

He's never folding a K here.

O RLY?

In all seriousness, I disagree. A5c under the gun with the entire table left to act, I'm not raising here unless I have a good read on the table which gives me a reason.

I also fold this pre-flop, but it depends on table dynamics. Honestly I think limping is better than raising here, if you're likely to get to see a cheap flop, especially if you're going to bluff off a ton of chips when you miss, like here.

Check turn and hope for a free card. You can call if you're getting the right odds, i.e. less than half pot. Otherwise fold it - you're beat. A lot of opponents will take a free card for pot control here.

The idea of a CRAI on the turn is terrible. I have lost lots of money in such shenanigans at 200NL.

your UTG, dont play AX under ten, suited or not
