Is this one of the first hands at the table? If so it's not close. Push

Preflop: You dont have any real hi potential. All you can hope for is to get a really lo flop. So essentailly you playing for lo only. Which is known to be bad. You have to play to scoop.

This is horribly and tragically misguided.

On the flop: well, you got your lo flop, but, as it was clear preflop, you still have to draw and your draw will be only for lo.
Your villain might already have 2 pair (with A2) or set (with AA) for hi.

Run some twodimes numbers.

Your best hope is to get your lo and split the pot.

hah?

[ QUOTE ]
Why risk your stack to split = to win nothing? No reason.
My play (if I were on this flop with your cards) is to fold.

Some of you write that I had no high potential. Am I missing something? The flop comes A 2. I have A345. Any 3 4 or 5 gives me a straight. That's 9 outs.


I've been stacked a few times this way. A guy flops a set and goes all in, hoping for the board to pair. Is this a winning pot limit strategy?
