flop raise i don't like at all; not sure bluffing works at this limit all that much. preflop raise i don't love a bunch either but i don't have a large amount of hatred for it either. i'd fold the flop without a second thought.

With 6 players in the hand, the odds of one having an ace are large. I fold this flop in a heartbeat.

preflop raise is meh..1 limper in front and you are in MP3/HJ. I could argue both ways so whatever..

Flop raise is 100% SPEW! There is no way you are ahead here, and it is doubtful that SB is going to fold any ace.

Well the turn is an obvious fold. If your Q outs on the flop were live, they are now dead and you basically have only 2 outs.

FWIW, I personally only post in the CO or I wait, but with 10 players, posting from MP3/HJ is not horrible.

On the flop, Hero has middle pair with 5 outs plus a Backdoor flush/straight to beat an ace, and the pot is large laying 13-1. Why do you guys advocate folding?

If its of any interest. Folding this flop is bad IMO.
Either call or raise I says. Calling is easy. But how bad is
raising?

Folding is the only option. On the flop, I mean.

Calling and raising are both awful. You're basically drawing to 5 outs at best, in reality probably more like 3.

If calling the flop is bad getting 13-1 it's only because of the possibility of a raise behind us.
