    Could CO call here with A7 after BB folds? just started tourny no reads on SB. What sort of range could we put SB on here?

    If I were the CO, I would definitely call the river the way this hand played out. However, if I were CO I also definitely would have bet earlier. I may have checked the flop as CO with A7, but if I did so, I definitely would have bet the turn.

    Would you call with KQ-KT from co on river?

    Yea, probably actually.

    To back up though: I am never ever ever in CO's spot here. Whatever hand CO has, the pre-flop play is awful. CO should never have A7, KT, KJ or KQ. Those could all be raises pre-flop, but A7o and KTo may be a bit loose and could instead be folds.

    is A9-A2o worth folding?
    ATo worth raising?
    A2s+ worth raising?

    is something like K9s worth raising or is that too loose?

    I actually feel that lately I have drifted into being too loose and raising too much from specifically the CO and have been trying to cut that back. I also mostly play cash games and not tournaments. I would certainly raise ATo+ and A2s+. K9s could be depending on the players behind me (it is loose though [bottom of range if raised]) and maybe I'd raise some of those other Ax offsuit hands depending on the players behind me (mostly if they fold too much pre-flop).

    What are your reasons to raising preflop with A2s+ or ATo?
    Are you raising to drive out opponents since A2s is 40% chance of winning against two random hands. if you drive out one opponent your about a 60% chance of winning against one random hand. If both opponents fold you win the blinds.

    Also when you raise with A4s you can see whether the opponent has a hand or not. He might re-raise suggesting he has a better hand than A4s. he might call suggesting he doesnt have AA but a hand like 88s. he could be slow playing AA tho.

    Whether calling with 88s from the button or the blinds is correct against a unknown early in a mtt i dont know

    No, river is a clear fold as played, however CO missed a bit on the flop and the turn. His decision to open limp in the CO is also questionable; I prefer a fold.

    Why is river a clear fold?
    Lego05 is a definite caller here.

    In general it is a mistake to start with the assumption that your opponents are bluffing you. Making frequent calls under this assumption can turn an otherwise profitable player into a losing one. I'm not suggesting that you should never bluff catch, of course, but this should be the exception and not the rule.
