Default Common preflop situation I don\'t really know what to do with

Not a biggie, but this kind of thing happens all the time.

Standard 3/6 6-max table. UTG limps, CO limps, you're on the button. Let's say UTG is donkish and CO is pretty decent. What do you do with:

1. A9o
2. A2o
3. KTo
3. 98o

as your standard play?

FWIW I'm usually around a 27/19 player.

I'm new to NL but I have been calling 1,3 & 4. Is getting in a pot cheap with position + a donkish player really that bad? It should be possible to play all of these profitably, no?

A2o is always a muck. Whether to raise or limp the others really depends on how loosely they will call me down pf/flop. If they are aggro/tricky I might just muck the others as well, especially the 98o.

Everyone is calling no 4. It's as good as any to call I guess but I usually fold....maybe I should play these more.

if u can get in there cheap against a few players, go for these connectors...btw, fold the first one for sure, fold the second most of the time, and i like calls with the last two...
