Message: [QUOTE="Bombjack, post: 444342, member: 11914"] Folding pre-flop would be the worst thing you could do. NL is all about implied odds. You're in the small blind, unraised pot, so I'd at least call here with any two cards, possibly raise with A7. I'd call the raise on the flop, if he's LAG like you say. But then you have to check to him on the turn so long as the turn doesn't help you. If he's betting at you here then you have to think he has an Ace rather than a flush draw, although I might pay him off depending on how big he bets. Pretty borderline, because there are only 4 Aces that you beat and 7 that you don't, although his failure to raise pre-flop might fool me into thinking I had the best hand. Weigh up the cost to you to call divided by the amount in the pot, and compare to what you think your chances are of winning the hand. E.g. if someone bets the pot on the river, you have to think you have a less than 33% chance that you're ahead to fold it. [/QUOTE]
