A6 in late position

#1 11th August 2008, 10:02 PM

Full ring game, table playing pretty loose, how do you play A6 os in late position (next to button)?

I folded it and in this case one of the limpers in middle position had A9, but I'm curious to know how you all would play it.

You did absolutly the right thing! I will fold A-6 off EVERY time, unless I'm the BB and it's a check! Think about it---A-6 off is really a nothing hand--alls ya got goin' is an A with no real kicker--no draw--NOTHING but a wish fer 3/As flopped!

S00ted its worth a limp behind.

Folding that from the cutoff unless I'm tilted. In a situation different than you describe... short table, folded around... I might raise.

^^ why would you play this at a short table instead of a full table, either way 3 players a left to act behind. Also typically short tables have really big and small stacks making limping less likely to be possible/profitable?

I was imaging a situation where I was up against two players in the blinds playing tight. Spose I should have said this.

Still I am a doofus. any advice I give should be firmly ignored.

If you up against the two players in the blinds who are tight and it folds around to you, that is almost a license to steal. You know there is a greater chance than normal they will fold to raise, and if they don't you know you beat. I will become a brazen thief if it gets that easy....

it depends: you can either make a huge profit or take a huge loss if you play with that kind of position. folding gains you nothing but can also steer you away from a bad beat. i say take a risk and if you hit you stand a good chance to make a good chunk of change.
