  2. If your instinct says you're beat, then the first impression is usually correct. Only thing you can beat at that point is a bluff.

    When the opponent mis-plays a hand, and shows to confirm your read, be thankful.
  3. He beats more than a bluff. He can beat A2, A3, A5, A6, and A8-AT. Some of these hands are more likely than others. He loses to A4, A7, AQ, AK, 44, and 77. Again, some more likely than others.

    I guess it comes down to how well you can read your opponent. If he's the type who likes to play A-rag, then I'd call. Otherwise, nice fold.
