Question of the Day - 01/09/08

Your Hand:

Game: Limit Texas Hold'em, Cash Game
Position: Early
Type of Game: Loose/Aggressive
Blinds: N/A

Question:

You are first to act. What do you do?

Answer:

Fold. AJ off-suit does not play well first-in from an early position in a loose/aggressive game. If the game is loose and very passive, perhaps you can play the hand since it is less likely that the pot will be raised.

Poll Results: Fold (56%) Call (22%) Raise (22%)

Flat call the 6s, fold AJ.

[BigPete33]

haha I actually yelled 'fold' the millisecond I saw A J and early.

[Ondie J]

I was actually more 60 to call, 30 to fold, 10 to raise.

I'd be willing to see what everyone else around me was going to do and as already mentioned it always depends on what the tables been doing, including myself, and then how much i've had to drink . Give me 8 pints and I'd raise without even thinking about it.

[Scotty]

It is limit in the AJ example, don't forget - so the "raise" option doesn't allow for a 10xBB shove

[Ondie J]

I missed the limit side of it. Apologies.

Even though it doesn't do too much to it, I did miss that fact.
