Here’s a situation that comes up quite a bit. Early position opens, one or two callers, and we have an hand like Ace Six unsuited in the big blind. Is this an automatic call? Long term does it make much of a difference? Let’s make the assumption we’re capable of folding top pair if the action suggests we’re beat.

Depends on the opener but generally I think it’s a call. Without the callers I would fold to a tag ep raise

Weird, I think the exact opposite

If you think your EV is close to 0 in a vacuum, let the rake make your decision for you. Fold at Commerce 20, call at Bellagio 20, maybe don't fold at Commerce 40 or higher, etc.

Hey you probably know better than I do. But I’m curious why you would want to call an ep raise. Guess the answer is equity but I have to think our hand does really poorly and we have to play oop. We actually have great relative position on the field in the scenario where he gets two callers.

I think with one caller we have good equity but against multiple players it’s much more likely that we may be dominated.

Yeah its pretty much just this. Also you get to realize more of your equity hu. When you flop bottom pair and its good you get to showdown more etc.
