you have 3k, blinds are 25/50, bets are 50/100.

You get dealt | immediatly before the bring-in. 5 people limp in for 15. do you fold this?

For a limp in for the min, you better hit another diamond to continue.

And a low one at that.

I wold say you fold... You are basicly drawing for half of the pot...

However, if there is no other K of A on the table and not more than 1 diamond, you can take a shot to the next card...

This doesn't make any sense.

1.) "Blinds are 25/50"
There is an ante and a bring in. No blinds. You're saying that bets are 50/100, so bring in would be $25. How are 5 limping for $15?

2.) Fold? Hell no! You have an extremely strong hand and you need to raise and not to protect, but for value.

Great catch with the blinds!

This is hi/lo split Alex, this is in no way an "extremely strong hand" You have nothing to protect.

You have three to the flush, two to a low, and and no pair. You are drawing to a draw with this hand.

There are only six cards I would want to see on 4th street. If I don't catch four to the flush I am out, if you catcha non-diamond low card that is the equivalent to starting with three decent low cards then catching a brick. If anyone else started out well and caught a decent card you are drawing a card behind.

Exactly...

Thats the kind of hand you can catch a low Diamond on the 4th Street and spent a lot of money on your draws and finaly hit nothing... or hitting a weak lo and still loose...

I hate drawing hand in O8B or S8B

KJ

I have no problem raising 6-way in this hand. You're getting amazing odds on your investment. I also don't know where the high door card is, but I'm still raising here. The closer the high door is, the more inclined I am to bet any card on 4th St.

This is the actually hand, there were actually only two in the pot, one Ace folded, and the first two in have better low draws, fortunately, no spades are up.

You only have ~5:1 chance of catching your flush for only half the pot if you make it and if it holds up. Just what are you raising for, you only have two to a 8-low and 3 to the flush.

In this spot since the A and Q folded I can understand raising a little better to improve your high chances, but this is a terrible high draw against so many low cards.

Yeah sorry alex about the "blinds".... way to Hold'em mindset there...

Well damn Beavis.. just post the whole hand history..... Saw enough freee streets adn nobodies board ended up threatning... so I figured MY kings were good.
