UTG: $81.64 (326.6 bb)
MP: $31.67 (126.7 bb)
CO: $27.39 (109.6 bb)
BTN: $42.88 (171.5 bb)
Hero (SB): $31.03 (124.1 bb)
BB: $10 (40 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6 7 8 9
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.55, CO calls $0.55, BTN raises to $2.55, Hero calls $2.45, BB folds, MP calls $2.00, CO calls $2.00

Flop: ($10.45) A 7 T (4 players)
Hero checks, MP checks, CO checks, BTN bets $9.80, Hero calls $9.80, 2 folds

With a hand like this pre should we call?

On flop vs AAxx and potential higher wraps should we just fold with 2 left to act? Or can we consider calling/shoving?

Hey,

I like to fold those kind of hands Preflop OOP, because we get dominated too often and hit bad combodraws a lot of the times. As played I think the squeezer has AA a lot of the time here, but we have >40% vs AA, so that would also be kinda ok (for an all-in with 0 FE we need 42% on the Flop if my calculations are correct). But I don't want to call here, but rather raise to get FE from the remaining players vs anything that could have covered/dominated my hand, like 89**, 9JK* etc. Sometimes even the BTN can fold a single Ace. Call doesn't achieve anything imo. You would have to call any turn (but a pair mb) anyway, so why not taking the FE on the flop to keep your hand as live as possible?

Hi,

preflop - what rulaZ said.

Excellent example otf tough on why the call preflop is bad. What does BTN 3bet? I think i would fold flop. Your wrap is dominated 4 way sooo often and you are not closing the action.

Regards,

Skod
