I dont have to ask Beavis, im just asking if players look at the math correctly what conclusion would be correct according to game theory....You on the other hand dont have a clue what to do here do you? If you did you would say " any idiot knows you ___ here you moron" But you didnt because your scared your answer is wrong.........

Personally i think it would be much easier to just answer the question but if you insist on losing your money to boot then you can find my name on just about any site right here in this forum.......Post yours and when u play and we'll see what we can do to accomadate you. But again you won't do it, you'll come in a week from now post a hand where you snuck up on me somewhere and managed to win 1 frickin hand and call yourself a great player....as you appear to be doing now with absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back it up......Like answering the (for you) very simple question i have posted already............

lmfao! And what evidence do u have to support the very subtle title of "pro poker player." nobody would have to use that title unless they were desperately trying to covince every1 they can play. Oh, and i think u keep going on and on about your original question not because i havent answered, but because ur actually clueless and u really need someone to tell u the answer. Fold!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't raise, but I think you call. You're also in position so that if one of the other 3 players 3 bets the pot, you know that AA is going to 4-bet it and you're gone.

Personally, I tend to play looser on limit tables (like most I would think). You already know this guys hand. Take a shot. You're already into the pot for 8 bucks. Chances are 1 or two of the limpers are sharing an A with the SB AA.

you gotta call. you are getting 6-1 on your money. you are only 4-1 behind so you are a slight overlay. as for the other limpers most likely they just call which puts you at 9-1. if it gets raised and capped so be it. your price is still right for a good cracking hand, you have position on the guy with the aces and most importantly you know his hand. if you flop big you stick it out. if you brick it you fold knowing that math says you were an overlay the whole way.

on the other hand folding and sacrificing your 4 dollars is not a horrible play either but i would take the edge and see a flop.

Call!!

You call you are getting 6-1 odds
You are only a 4-1 dog against the Aces
In a limit game the limpers will probably call which gives you 9-1 odds
with a hand that plays pretty good

Threads dead and im close so here we go....

78s vs AA as we know is only a small dog...Heads up
But with 2 other limpers behind it shrinks to around a 3 or 4 -1 dog..not good..
With the Blinds and 2 limps in the pot you have more than the odds needed to play against the AA heads up but in a 4 way pot your chances are very slim....You need to play the pot heads up......So you should RE-RAISE to drive out the 2 limpers......

gotta disagree... and when you say 78s vs AA is only a "small dog", what percentages do you have? more players the better imo, not much implied odds when you hit this hand hard if you're heads up.

If it was a no limit game I would call, but a in that situation I would fold. If you just play the math in a limit game you will be calling 80% of the time. Half the table calls every time.

Fold since Id be out of position the rest of the hand...but calling wouldnt be horrible to see a flop...if I had to play that same scenario a minute from now, Id fold it though...if I was in a gambling mood, Id call.
