These are all pre pandemic hands that I played. I'm preparing for my return to the game.

they dont have to win much to be playable here

probably breakeven to very very slightly +EV which means im playing the hand if for no other reason than it keeps my brain involved in the game.

It’s neither of those things though, it’s a losing play.

how do you know?

A7o A8o A9o ATo

After four limpers

All trash

maybe reword this to: how much dead money needs to be in the pot before you throw a small bet in preflop with your "trash"? i woudl assume if there was a cnote in the pot youd still play your "trash" A7o

The money isn’t dead though. You also have a hand that can’t make anything better than a marginal made hand 99% of the time. Throwing in money hoping to get lucky with a weak ace in a 5+ way pot is total fish behavior.

I fold A7o because it's trash. Why are you asking about hypotheticals when we already have a situation. 4 limps and it's your turn.


If you are in the SB after 5-6 call I would call there. But that's different that over limping with trash

If you’re going to limp in with trash at least make it sooted trash

After 4 limpers I would rather limp Q6s than A8o

Q6s is my favorite trash hand. I've won some big pots with that hand lol

The hip still here! Epic

The issue isn't the dead money in the pot and the price you appear to be getting; the isdue is that with many limpers in the pot there are a lot of horses to out run, and A7o (for example) just can't run very far or fast.

Subscribed to your twitch. I dont see any limit on there. I request you do a cash game session. Ill watch for sure
