    Default A9s in SB

    Bovada No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed) - Converted by MadMojoMonkey's patient ass

    MP2 ($5.00)
    HJ ($2.29)
    CO ($6.90)
    BTN ($4.88)
    SB (HERO) ($7.19)
    BB ($2.95)
    UTG ($6.19)
    UTG+1 ($3.03)
    MP1 ($2.37)

    MP2 posts dead $0.05

    Preflop (0.12): Hero is SB with
    1 fold, UTG+1 limps, MP1 limps, MP2 checks, HJ limps, 1 fold, BTN limps, Hero limps, BB raises to $0.20, UTG+1 folds, 5 calls

    Flop: ($1.25) (6 players)
    Hero checks, BB bets $0.20, MP1 calls $0.20, MP2 raises to $0.50, 2 folds, Hero folds, BB calls, MP1 calls

    Clearly this is a juicy table full of tasteee fishies. I just wonder if I played this well. This situation (or something quite similar) came up 3 times in as many orbits.

    Am I donking away monies by calling pre-flop? Would you fold to the limpers or the raise from BB? If you DO see the flop, would you play anything other than fit-or-fold in this spot?

    completing the SB pre and calling the small raise here is standard imo. great pot odds, fishy table, hand that plays well multiway (and makes the nuts). c/f flop. nh.

    edited because i misread BB raising it preflop.

    Loving it when the Big Blind makes a pot builder raise.

    I make a pot builder raise with this hand when the table dynamic is super-passive and the stacks deep enough to not fear a re-raise.
