2/3/5, my stack is 360

Ah5d
I straddle 10 UTG, LJ/BTN/SB all call, I raise 90, LJ/SB both call

LJ and SB are both scary players, winning regs who I see all the time.

Flop is Kd5c6h, SB checks, Hero?

I thought I had a good blocking hand with a decent amount of dead money in the pot.

Dont straddle
Dont raise A5o from straddle

People who limp LJ arent scary.

Check fold flop.

It’s prob not the worst in theory though I would go like 100 and have this as a raise/fold hand…just if you go with this approach you really have to be selective with your bluffs as burning a third of your stack isn’t a great look also what’s your image? The lagger it is the more this is a torch…As played bet flop like 10 percent..:

If you're raising this spot whenever you have an Ace because dead money and blockers you're going to be losing a lot of money.

Hm okay. I was at a table the other day with someone who put in raises like this with like half their range and no one seemed to be able to stop him from doing this. It was confusing. I wanted to try it out.

You're already short stacked given the size of the game. Why on earth would you do something that's as -EV as straddling int hat position?

I'm not buying that anyone is a "winning reg" when they're limping and then calling a 9x raise against a short stacked player.

That's fair, I'm just basing it off what I've seen. They easily could be losing every other time lol
