fold is worst. no huge difference btw 3x raise and limp, as long as you know how to use that image.

So know you're posting the opposite of what you mean kind of like a joke?Fold dude. The tables should be combined the next hand. Unless you posted the wrong amount of players left or it's a 6 handed satty. Fold>raise>limp

This is an exact HH from someone i know. It is indeed a 6 handed satty. Sorry I forgot to mention that

[GWCGWC 83]

It's still a fold. The SB's stack size dictates this.

What does that have to do with anything. Nobody said anything about folding to the money. That's not even an option. Blinds at 90/180 means if you raise this and the SB shoves, you have to call. This isn't a good spot. SH is mostly about position and blind play. In a satty, you have to be aware of images, chip counts and blind levels. It's pretty simple and A8 sooted has huge reverse implied odds. It's just a bad hand in this situation kid. It's not even close.

yea, my explanation is poor but this is a fold.I expect some players to come in and say the same thing but with better language.

Dwan seems to know the math pretty well and he might not have bracelets, but he's sure kicking some ass at HSP from what I can tell...

A fold is great. Bolded part is just bad. There is definitely a huge difference between raising and limping. fold > raise >>> limpLimping here shouldn't be an option

Oh, leveled. Nice, at least you've embraced your new role and are living up to the billing.

Fold is prolly best, as a guy the big stack is on the button, and a guy with about the same stack is in the blinds. Raising isn't terrible if you're decent post, but I would just fold and decide not to put myself in tough spots with a decent stack.

[TwstdWrstr 10]

Limp is by far the worst option.You could consider raising 2.5x preflop (to 400). YOu will get just as many folds and if you get repopped by the SB it's a little easier to fold.Folding is prob still the best.

I don't care about the proper answer to this. All I want to know is if there's money riding on the outcome of this thread, otherwise it's almost pointless...

I usually throw in a 5x-6x raise in this spot. If I get reraised I usually flat call and outplay my opponent postflop

If SB/BB flats the 5x raise, and then leads flop for pot, I am usually raising for info.

Smart move...this way if he shoves on you, you can always fold and find a better spot.

I'd actually tend to make it 7x here so no one can call you with suited connectors.

Wouldn't 7.5x be a better raise, that way it's easier to 3cbet the flop.
