I have a question about limit O8

Miklosik · I have a question about limit O8

if you are on the button and everyone has folded, late in a tourney, already in the money but in the bottom of the pack. You have

do you raise or just call or fold?

depends on your chip stack, raising usually gets the BB in it for sure anyways, but if your low, the SB might call too, and it's not that great of a hand...

I might get flack for this, but I feel any hand like that with 3 of one suit is not that good, play it out of the blinds, & fold it elsewhere, plus the low hand gets split too often...I'd prob fold it PF, unless I knew I could make a play on who's left in it...

As Rob said it would depend a lot on the size of my stack and the size of the BB stack. I might risk a call especially if I don`t think the blinds are likely to raise behind me.

I might risk a raise if I was very shortstacked. I`m not that keen on the 3 suited cards and there isn`t a great low draw but if you can get it HU you wouldn`t be in bad shape against most hands.

As above, chips stack/blinds have a large bearing, but also the character of the table.

If the sb and bb are likely to re-raise anything you bet, I'd try to keep a control on the pot by limping and seeing if it hits.

The game was from a couple of weeks ago and I was reviewing some things that bothered me. I didn't even limp. I folded. I figured I was too limited in what I needed the board to be and I could go another round before having to commit. As it turns out the board was all spades.
