A3s in EP against a loose passive table

RabidTortuga · #1 11-12-2006, 02:04 PM

Very loose passive table, only one raiser over 5% and he's to my immediate left in EP2. Everyone else is 40< VP$iP and 4> PFR.

OK line here?

You called the flop because....?

BDFD + gutshot + pair outs for A = ~6 outs,

I see no problem with a flop call against a passive field.

Rest of the hand standard.

I'm getting 7:1 on the initial flop call. I have a gutshot for 4 outs and a backdoor nut flush draw for 1.5 outs. 5.5 outs is just slightly worse than 7:1, and I'm going to collect a few bets if I hit either draw. I might even have .5 to 1 out on the Ace in addition to put me over without implied odds.

I don't like calling with weak, non-nut draws in medium-small pots with 4 players left to act behind me.

It's certainly a very borderline call but it can't really be called incorrect if the table is that passive. Call or fold would have been close.
