Fold, and this almost certainly doesn't violate copyright law.

a) I have a weak hand and there are still five players to act behind me. I fold.

'A' gets my vote as well

Depends on my mood, really. Some days I'm d-ish and other days I check off "fold" before the action even gets to me and concentrate on something else. For me to raise in this spot I'd have to be feeling REALLY frisky and the hand would have to be suited.

ez fold

gotta be willing to splash around deep with a hand that has good implied odds or one that can take heat on ragged flops in a big pot, and an offsuit one gapper does not fit this criteria.

To clarify for the gazilionth time. Yes, the way the original post was written there was clearly a copyright violation according to the publisher. No need to get into a discussion about it. Just don't copy the text verbatim. You are allowed to summarize. And you're even allowed to copy a small portion of the text ("fair use"). But you cannot copy the entire hand. This issue is more prevalent in HOH3 because it is essentially a book of hands and if people were allowed to post them in their entirety a good portion of the book would wind up online. I just received my copy today and I will also emphasize that while the book focuses around hands there is a ton of good information and insights that make it very much worth the purchase.

This looks like an obvious fold to me as well. I'm not even sure if I'd play in in late position. I do like raising with speculative hands early in a tournament if I'm in position. Obviously with the intent of trapping someone overplaying a single pair hand when I have a hidden monster. But T8o in MP does not meet my criteria.

Hey Lloyd, you can delete this post if you think it will cause problems.
