A good mix of aggressive and passive players, 3 poor players and 4 pros. 2 players are new to the table and have only played a few hands. You're under the gun (UTG - First to act) with:

What should you do?

[Boxer22]

UTG.....I would muck that shit so fast.

 

[festeringZit]

No brainer. Fold.

Look up the word 'domination.'

 

[Cracker]

Yep.

 

[DeathEatsaCracker]

Muck without even thinking about it.

 

[TheRightSide]

Can't imagine playing this hand. You could never think you have the best hand prefop and being way way out of position sure wouldn't help after the flop.

That being said I see people play this garbage all the time. I like to see it work when I'm not in the hand. LOL

They see 2 cards with color and think they have something. People at the 1-2 tables are horrible at playing in position.

fold fold fold fold.

 

[Hookandcrook+]

Push all-in and order a beer.

 

[Cracker]

Push all-in and order a beer.

Yeah, cause that is the obvious move.

 

[HonestRob]

Easy fold.

 

[papicker]

this table i would fold, a table of bad players i dont mind the limp in because im just trying to see as many hands cheapily as possible and going for big 2 pair or straights

I never limp UTG with anything no matter the opponents. -EV since you are most likely folding to a raise. Terrible position. Ugg i think a limp is the absolute worst play here.

Oh and for the question at hand.... EZ fold, every time

 

[Fishhead]

Fold

 

[CharlieHustle1]

There is nothing wrong with a position raise here. You could raise being the first to act if you have more then one person call then yeah you should be more conservative if high an A or high cards comes on flop.

 

[LostBankroll]

I would raise maybe 25% of the time. Any substancial raise by opponents, MUCK asap. 25% of the time I may limp hoping the pros didnt catch any cards. Also hoping that the rooks at the table would like to see a cheap flop. It happens. Anything Below a K isnt worth paying to see the flop UTG. Hate that feeling of everyone observing your first move.

 

[ECS]

Fold

 

[ExqusiteHoopster]

I would call at least

 

[rpark]

I never limp UTG with anything no matter the opponents.

Limping AA UTG with intentions of 3-betting preflop in live play where you have a couple aggressive players near the button that you can rely on to raise is fine. If you can isolate, then raise instead of limping AA but playing AA OOP against 4-5 players isn't what I want.
