Fold preflopFold river, theres no way that is a bluff. (maybe a very small chance its another ace, but most likely your looking at a flush or a seven.)

Fold preflop and it's not even close to close.

Fold A2 on the button with no action in front? I'm new to full ring games, but seems very weak...

the hand has no value if you hit an A what is going to call you, if you hit a 2 are you going to feel comfortable. it is unsuited and you always have the low end of any two card straight draw.The river is the easiest fold ever but maybe I am the nit!

[Zach6668 513]

A2 is probably behind an UTG limping range, fwiw.I had A2o so much, I have to remind myself not to fold it every time I see it, and I play HU. If I could fold it, I would, lol.

eh...pf should probably be a fold but you'll take the pot down uncontested so often (pf or with a c/bet) that I don't think it really matters.

There's $16.50 in the pot and it's $4 to call. That means we only have to be good like 19% of the time. I'd call here all day long.

It's $4 to call because villain only had $5.15 behind ($11 - $1.1 - $1.75 - $3 = $5.15)Villain has to be KRAZY to c/r practically all in with less than a 7 or better hereWe have the worse ace and got c/r'ed on the river... easy foldAfter the c-bet didn't take the pot down, should have been content to check it down... it seems nitty but than you don't get c/r'ed and have no idea where you are

River is a clear valuebet - we're called by a lot worse (any king / pocket pair / any 8). Honestly I see hero as having played this hand fine, assuming he folded on the river.

[Zach6668 513]

????????????????????????????Stop playing scared.

...but there is action. Someone limped. If you won't to open-raise it to get your button-raising up against weakish blinds, that's fine, but generally speaking it's a fold if anyone else has entered the pot.Also, I think the river is a tad closer than y'all are giving credit for based on odds. It still may be a fold, because we're rarely winning (there are some busted draws that he may try this with), but we're going to split some portion of time. For those strongly advocating fold, what's the weakest hand that you'd call with here?

I think my math got retarded by the river, but I really don't think we're ever "good"We might be splitting with an ace, but is this a line a bluff is going to take?

Fold preflop. if u do make this move, ok as played as long as u fold river.

[Sens-Eh 0]

fold presince you didn't fold, then c-bet flop as you did (except $2)check turn obvfold river raise - you aren't ahead here.

Does any combination of spades make a flush, or do you need all 5 spades with tails or all 5 spades without tails?
