Hi Guys,
Lately I have been on a lot of low stakes, fishy tables, where I encounter the following situation. I'm close to last (or second to last) to act, perhaps in the small blind pre-flop. Maybe I have a marginal hand like T9o, or KJo, or A7s.
The action proceeds in such a way that every other player limps in, so given the pot odds when it gets around to me, it seems worth looking at the flop by also limping, even though I am the kind of player that might not play a marginal hand 9-handed. If you think the above hands aren't marginal, just replace the examples with hands that you believe are marginal.
However, the last person to act, say - the big blind, decides to min-raise at this point. It sounds strange but I have encountered this so often at certain tables. Then, every other player in the hand calls. Only... when it comes around to someone who is to act 1 or 2 hands ahead of me, there is a new min-raise. Now the pot odds are still very good, and I could flop a hand that wins a large amount of money, but i'm not sure what the original min-raiser will do.
Let's say I call. Now the original min-raiser, min-raises again. Everyone calls. The pot is building out of control. How do you proceed from here? If you knew the table would be like this, would you sit down at it? Would you enter the pot with anything but an excellent drawing hand? Would you wait for a non-familypot situation?
