Dont openlimp!!!
Raise or fold preflop, and i prefer folding.
Calling CO's raise is spew, you call with an easily dominated hand, OOP.

Flop:
Betting here is not terrible, but if CO raises, you have to fold or push it allin with TPWK.
I think c/c on every street, if the board doesnt become worse, no raise-war is starting and your hand doesnt improve, is the best way to play the hand.


Preflop screwed up everything. A9s is barely +EV from UTG, you gotta be quite well postflop to play it.

Limping is ofcourse ok when you more often than not can see a flop for 1bb.

C/C every street is so beyond bad. C/C one street or bet/fold is ok here.

[Spurious]

lol openlimping sucks dude
are you trying to bully me?
replying in every thread i reply and always contradict...

this is WA/WB here, so c/c is the best line imo

suggest how you proceed after the flop?

[dirtylobster]

Raise preflop. 4-handed I'm not very excited at this flop. B/f or c/f are both viable options as played.

[hockeyf]

Check fold a proper bet on the turn if hes calling flop.
Limping with this is bad at higher levels, but in the 25NL you can limp.

[Spurious]

c/f is too weak imo

[hockeyf]

Not in a multiway pot.

[dirtylobster]

Yeah well donking into the preflop raiser with a weak ace after openlimping is not the best of lines.

[hockeyf]

Way better than check/calling 2 or more streets.
