Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

HJ is a solid regular, maybe towards the laggy side of Lag/Tag. BB is an unknown, but his stats seem reasonable and he is playing on at least a couple tables and hasn't done anything strange yet.

Should I continue on this flop? If you do continue, I assume your just cold calling?

Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is SB with A 5
1 fold, MP raises, CO calls, BTN calls, Hero calls, BB calls

Flop: (10 SB) 5 7 3 (5 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, MP raises, CO folds, BTN folds, Hero

I think I continue and just cc.

BB's line looks weird. For an attempted b3b it looks bad since he'd get MP to shut out the field in having them face 2 bets cold. If he wanted to get in more action, then a check raise seems like it would work better. Maybe he just miss-clicked?

What's MP opening with? 20-25% By itself, I think you're fine with your amount of equity and price. Even though his flop raising range is narrower, I think you're fine to continue getting 13-2, and probably 7-1 if BB calls.

i might fold preflop but i'm not sure it's correct. obviously something like 87s is an easy call, and i'm sure if we stoved it out that a5s would have fine/better equity, but we'll suffer some domination issues postflop.

i think i'd coldcall the flop, yeah. a lot of turn cards are nice for us. our position is awkward but the pot is reasonably-sized and we probably cooler someone if an ace or five comes
