Stupid Preflop Question

[toss]

65/20/.7 button open limps. You have A2o in the SB. BB is TAG at 25/18/2.

[toss]

If you fold, what's the lowest Ax you play?

[NinaWilliams]

Assuming 1/2 blinds, I call and raise A8o+

[Oink]

FWIW I dont think it matters much whether you fold or call in a 1/2 structure.

I hardly ever play 1/2 structures these days, but I guess I would raise A7o+ and complete A6o and A5o.

[Gurravasa]

how can you ever fold an ace for 0.5 SB against this loose limper? I can't believe how tight some of you guys are...

easy call if you stove it. question is how to play a weak aces out of position against 2 when you dont hit your ace ...

[Oink]

A2o really dosent play well postflop. I think its a fine call but its marginal at best. I would much rather play 98s which prolly has much less eq preflop. Analyzing a preflop decision merely based on eq against some proposed range is far from enough.

Hu vs this range:
K9s-K2s,Q9s-Q2s,J9s-J2s,T3s+,95s+,85s+,74s+,64s+,54s,A9o-A2o,K9o-K2o,Q9o-Q5o,J9o-J7o,T7o+,97o+,87o
we have like 54% equity
if he raises some more hands as people do on the button (not just 20%) our equity might go up to 57%

however if BB is a observant TAG he might know that villain is spewy and we had explored that. I dont want to be OOP to the TAG and the spewtard.

I fold.
but can someone tell me why to call hand have the TAG BB in the hand is a good thing?

cuz if you do this with any frequency and the tag plays well he's gonna come with at least 60% of his hands and he's gonna float or raise a lot of flops too.

I thought it was a fold when I made the poll and I still think it is. It may seem like we have good equity, but A2o plays so bad versus the TAG and loose guy OOP. Make the BB a loose passive and I call all day.
