I play the hand the same way and I think we are leaking in doing so. An 8 will bet the flop and the turn and we are folding the turn UI. I think that this hand is difficult to play well even with position. I would either fold or raise the flop and take control of the hand. Sure this might lose you the overcall from the MP1 player but you can take a free card or bet improved. All in all I think the flop should just be a fold, the pot is small and you very likely have the worse hand.

On the flop, I like raising more than calling. You might have the best hand with your ace, you probably will get a free card on the turn, you will probably fold out MP. Calling the flop, you know you are folding the turn UI. If you raise the flop, you will likely see the turn and river. You might also get to showdown your hand for free cuz SB could check both the turn and river afraid of getting raised again.

Hand looks okay. Flop peel is thinnish but probably marginally the best play.

Hey rsliu - try posting this in the Micro-Limit forum. This forum is actually for shorthanded games, 6 players or less. Which is one of the reasons that some respondents have suggested raising preflop, as they don't seem to realize it is a full ring game.

Only one respondent has suggested raising preflop and no one agrees with him.

The first two players folded so this is pretty much a 6m hand imo. The only difference is that an unknown 5/10 fr player is different then your standard 5/10 6m unknown.

A PFR here is bad.
