Had two hands today in cash that involved playing mediocre or drawing hands out of position to a raiser and wanted to get people's thoughts. It is situations like this where I struggle to figure of whether to play the hands or not and if so how you play them
Cash Live £1/2 - game has been fairly normal with a lot of preflop aggro but few big pots
Situation One
Position 4 playing £300 weak passive Position 5 playing £350 loose Position 6 Hero playing £650 Position 7 playing £250 tight Button playing £150 loose aggressive
Position 4 raises to £7 and Pos 5 calls as do you with Ac9c
Position 7 instantly and confidently raises to £30 Position 8 calls Position 4 folds Position 5 calls
Do you call here or do the fact that you are out of position to the raiser and against smallish stacks make it a fold?
Situation 2
Cash Live £1/2 - same game
Position 2 playing £500 limps, tight Position 4 playing £300 limps, weak passive Position 5 playing £200 limps, no read yet Position 6 SB Hero playing £750 calls with A10 offsuit Position 7 BB playing £200 loose, insta raises to £15
Situation 2 looks a really easy fold to me. Such a stinking hand to play oop, much prefer to call with 7c8c here.
Situation 1, I hate these hands too. Raising pre may well be better than calling, but folding pre is probably best. You need to hit the flop so hard to carry on, and only A9x or 3 clubs vs Kcxc or QcYc gets them to pay you off. But I know I am weak and sometimes call pre.
