I had position on a very loose player, and then got raised and could not seem to get away. Was hoping final opp had AK or AQ, etc.

Where should I have shut this down?

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, 4.
4 folds, MP3 calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, SB raises, 1 fold, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (7 SB) 5, 6, 4 (3 players)
SB bets, MP3 folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 5 (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

River: (6.50 BB) J (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 8.50 BB

Results in white below:
Hero has As 4d (two pair, fives and fours).
SB has Kc Ks (two pair, kings and fives).
Outcome: SB wins 8.50 BB.

Raise or fold pre-flop. Calling is HORRIBLE.

I couldn't agree more. Don't limp with that garbage.

RAISE: You want to put pressure on the blinds and hopefully make it heads up against a weak limper .... (See Fnord's comments in another thread about how he thinks that A-rag isn't even a good blind stealing hand).

FOLD: If there was more than one limper in front of you, or that one limper was a tight/ok player, IMHO, folding is your only option.

OTB, SB (rarely), and BB are the only positions from which you should ever be playing A-rag-off!

Most of the time, you should just fold that crap! Why voluntarily thrown your money into that kind of investment? Limping with A-rag-offsuit is akin to investing your savings in Enron shares or real-estate in the Florida everglades.

I dump with one limper already in the pot. I might try the blind steal if the blinds are tight. Otherwise I always dump this garbage.

Fold on that flop.....
