Re: 4/8 - Line checks.

fold pre both hands

postflop is fine hand 1 (but i could get behind a flop raise); vb river if checked to

i'd raise flop and vb river hand 2 and don't think either is close

Re: 4/8 - Line checks.

fold pre hand 1

consider raising hand 2 if players behind you are tight and you have excellent control on two limpers. Otherwise (most of the time) fold hand two preflop.

Re: 4/8 - Line checks.

hand 1 I call against unknown sb, a read could swing it either way.

hand 2 value bet river, pot's not big enough to raise for protection on the flop imo, but big enough to call down and bet if checked to.

I play about 70-80% on the button in limped pots if the blinds are passive. Make a pair, bet when checked to, call down when you're getting good odds.

I think I would fold this pre --- in these games ppl limp bigger aces, at lest A8 and quite often AT or AJ ... so I typically fold here... if it were suited I could find a case of over limping with it being a six way pot likely...on the turn I would just raise...

2 limpers. Hero has A 9 2 off the button. Hero calls. Blinds call.

SB checks. BB checks. MP1 checks. MP2 bets. Hero calls. SB folds. BB check raises. Fold. MP2 calls. Hero calls.

Turn is J
BB checks. MP2 checks. Hero bets. Both call.

River 3 BB checks. MP2 checks. Hero checks.

here if I weren't going to fold I would raise if I decided to play... I can't really give post flop advice w/o reads. If they're unk I think I play the hand passively. I would x-back the turn and I wouldn't over-call the river... I would prob bet/fold if checked to as played...

Re: 4/8 - Line checks.

i generally fold both of these hands pre and would rather not limp along if i chose to play them.

Re: 4/8 - Line checks.

hand 1 fold pre

I may raise hand 2 pre against loose limping yet predictable opponents* and tight blinds.

but normally I fold A9o in this position against a field.

* they will raise their good hands on the turn and fold their bad ones.
