  2. I would definitely fold it pre - you have no low and your flush draw is weak. As played I would fold to the rr-even though you only leave yourself 12K at 1/2 blinds you are not dead yet. If you call you need a lot of help most of the time
  3. ty for the advice. ill post results after a few responses.

  4. It's kind of a mix between proprer pl8 theory and proper tournament theory.

    The problem with bringing in that hand for a raise with a few people behind you is that the a2 and a3 hands are usually behind you. Personally I really prefer overlimping with those types of hands and they can be very tough to play. If I raise that hand with your stack and an aggro player reraises me I'm not folding there because it's more likely they have a2xx or a3xx than aa2x or aaxx.

    Personally I'd probably fold or limp depending on how the table is playing.

    Well it was a button raise with the most aggro player in the BB who 2 hands earlier had lost a pretty big hand to me. I figured he would call reraise with almost any hand that contained to cards lower than 8. He was obv at the very top of that range. After my raise and his push is it a easy fold or snap call given him and our history?
