A2 On the Bubble

Don't like the call pre. You will be out of position with a very weak hand. Even if you hit a TP you don't have a kicker and will be often dominated.

Dont get your shove on the flop. What hand do you want to call here? Even KK will fold on this shove normally. Only hands that got you beat will call. If you want some value go for a check/raise. It's only for bluff (to pick up deadmoney) because no worser hand will call. Never play for stacks here.

Agree with all this, but never check/raise this hand on the flop. Just check/call it if you decide to call preflop.

Versus some reggy player who can find fold to 3bet I might sometimes make 3bet bluff with this hand, but almost always folding. I would never call preflop from SB. Hand plays bad and position is bad.

In flop only line that make sense is check-call. Allow villain to cbet and keep worse hands in his range. If he is maniac type I dont mind to take check-call for 3 streets, but he really needs to be very very bluffy for this.
