hi! Would you play this hand? These are the kind of hands I have trouble with deciding whether I should call, raise or fold.

in this particular position I would fold this hand, still two people to follow you with a raise to you. If you call and one of the blinds 3-bets, would you call that?
if the answer is no, then simply fold before you get into trouble.

without knowing more about the raiser, i.e. is he a lag player or tight, would you 3-bet with 68? again, still two players to follow you.
there are many things to consider.

I think the best move in this situation is fold. Two people raised before you as froggeedogs said.

With these kind of hands i usally just limp or call 2-3x, nothing more, and then depending on the flop I would consider my next move.

Not unless you put the raiser on 84 or 76, it's an easy fold.

you could always 3 bet! who knows... maybe the min bet open will fold. Looks like it's close to the money i would wait for a better spot and just fold.

There are times when we might want to play suited connectors. This is not such a time and your hand is also not suited connectors. What would you hope to catch on the flop with this hand? A flush? A straight? A flush is certainly possible but then you have to worry that someone else might have made a bigger flush. A straight would have been more probable if you had say 78s. As is you might catch one but the odds are not in your favor at all.

So when do we play suited connectors? When we are in late position (like you were) and a few people already entered the pot before us we might call because we are getting great pot odds to do so and our hand has some possibility. Or when the action is folded to us we might raise with a 78s holding to take the blinds.

In this situation you are not getting good enough pot odds to call. There are 1680 chips in the pot and you will have to pay 800 to see the flop if neither of the blinds wake up with a big hand behind you. So you're getting only 2:1 pot odds.

Let's weigh up all the negatives of our hand and then the positives. This is assuming that the blinds call as well since they will get good pot odds to call with just about anything.

Negatives -

* We might miss the flop completely - Very Likely.
* We might hit a flush but someone else might have a bigger flush - Possible.
* We might hit a flush but someone else might outdraw us for a bigger flush - Possible.
* We might hit top pair and someone else might have a better pocket pair - Possible.
* We might hit top pair and someone else might hit the same top pair with a better kicker - Possible.
* We might hit top pair and someone else hits a set - Possible.

Positives -

* We might hit a flush with no other flushes around - Possible.
* We might hit the nut straight - Unlikely.
* We might hit a set or a boat - Unlikely.

So looking at this what do you think the correct play should be given 2:1 pot odds?

Thank you guys for all this advice! I folded before I made the post, just wanted to check.
The player that raised (only 1 guy raised, some ppl thought 2 guys raised) was relatively tight player.

I ended up getting 6th in the tournament.
It's only play money, but I'm learning. Started a few weeks ago.

Fold, you only have 27bb. There are better suited connector hands like 98s 87s 76s. If you were in BB then you should call.

Auto fold, flatting is just terrible and we are too shallow to even consider 3 betting

SUITED CONNECTORS, PLAY THEM ALL DAY LONG

:DThe way I would play that hand would be to raise 2x the big blind to send the message of a strong Ace Face unsuited type hand, then see what the flop brings. Raising preflop might set up a bluff to rake the 2x blinds, or catching to take down a big one.;)

IMO, its just a fold, the range of his UTG min raise is ouyretty stronger than your 85s, you will be far behind most of the time, just wait for a better spot

I would fold in this situation. You can chase straight or flush but it is not worth to risk because someone could have stronger flush or straight. Definitely fold.

For me it would be also an easy fold. I think I even would fold, if there was no raise, depending on the playstyle of the two blinds. If they were complete nits, maybe I would raise, when there was no raise before. But otherwise definitly fold.

Hello no doubt I would have reopened the bet since we have position on the table, and if this did not work I would raise the bet in the middle of the pot, if our opponent persists and equals instead of raising the bet would go all in to force him to Match my bet or withdraw. Since if I did not raise my continuation bet is because he is waiting to complete his hand and this would pressure him enough. I hope you serve luck on the tables.

well, it depends on the situation. In this situation where you have 3 people in the hand and a Raise i would definately FOLD. or if you feel like gambling and you do land a straight or flush you may have the BIlike A K or KK dominated where they think they have you beat and so you can make alot of money. but also theres a big chance that Your cards will not come out on the flop and you just wasted money. But let's say One guy Raises large, and everyone else folds. I would CALL . There is a big chance first of all that he will not catch his cards, He will probably value bet and you can just raise him and if He is an actual poker player he will fold and you will win. Also, You may catch two pairs and he catches his top pair with his A K and you will take his whole stack. But again Playing this hand depends on the Situation on the table. I personally love suited connectors :D :confused::p:joyman::rolleyes::cool::D:D:D:D

Bro, raising is totally out of the question:eek:
You can't even think of raising there with THAT:(

Think positive, be positive and fold those junks.
These kind of cards put you in very bad situations when you hit top pair, or a draw. You will want to pay to see the turn and river and it will cost you your stack.
So fold bro and let's play some real poker with better cards:)

Gl and may the cards be with you:cool:

Easy fold in my opinion, keeping in mind that there are still 2 players to act and your hand is very weak against everything. Easy fold.
