Play this hand in late position in a medium-tough game?

I play tight but I think I should play this kind of hand, since the ace is suited. Thanks for any thoughts on this. I think I play too tight and want to open up my game a little.

LO8? PLO8? NLO8?

What's the action before me?

in lo8, it's a pretty standard open from the cutoff and a pretty standard 3bet vs a btn open. if there's a loose limper, i'd isoraise from cutoff and if there's multiple limpers or an early position limper, i'd overlimp. i'd also be folding for 2 bets from any early position raises.

Yes. I think A

is playable in a fixed-limit game. See the flop.

I agree.

Then it's close and "depends."

In tough games you better play really well after the flop; limping in early with this can be a sure fire way to burn chips when the opposition is too tough, so, just be mindful of your position AND the lineup.

And if someone solid raised in front of me, I might play it if there were others who also entered the pot, as well, because, the suited Ace does add something when there's a nice multiway pot going on, but to play it knowing that it's going to be HU or three handed is not exactly my ideal situation.

I think playing two bets on button or CO is fine.. if BTN is a very tough player would flat less

Almost Never open folding or calling 3 bets though

does your hand really lose that much value calling two bets vs raising 2 bets?

out of curiosity ... what range are you 3 betting HJ or earlier raises with?

the whole point of raising is the possibility of taking down the blinds uncontested.

i'd 3bet if the 5 was a 2 or if the jack was a queen and the 5 was a 3. or maybe if the 8 was a 4. something like that.

and i'd never limp with this hand.

Three players limp in front of you and you're on the CO/Button and you don't want to limp with this hand?

What's your preferred line then?

I don't/didn't think blind stealing is such a huge advantage in 15/30 and lower games but I digress

btw 3bet was never part of my logic here..

yeah and as I read your initial post I was more or less nodding my head in agreement with you, which, is why I was a little confused with your last post. It's all good
