Default 4/180 weak ace folded around to me in SB

I really hate this spot. BB is totally crazy up to this point and he is seeing flops and floating bets with bottom pair etc....

In short I hate to play him OOP with a mediocre hand. You ever just fold here? Or am I being paranoid and just raise - cbet - shut down?

Is BB raising or just trying to see cheap boards?

If he just wants cheap boards, limp in and see what you can get. Slow down to anything less than two pair. If an Ace hits, play it cautiously, but assume you have the best hand.

I think he'd probably raise a limp here. Of course I could l/rr ai with A7o... [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Do you think he would reraise a raise?

Raise.

Sometimes, just sometimes...I like to limp this and then shove if villain raises you. I don't think you'll see a call in the 4/180 doing this unless you've actually run into a hand, or have been doing this often.

I'd limp, given what you've said. Call or reraise depending on bet size and gut feeling. Play a pot but keep it small initially.

Folding sucks and raise/calling is going to create a big pot OOP. Play a small pot, against a bad player and decide on the flop whether to play a big pot.

Limp-pushing, although a tad overbettish, seems fine to me. If he just checks, keep it small like reg says.
