    Default Call or fold?

    No good reads just sat down. Opponents seem to be pretty loose aggresive. Seems they will play any A. What should I do here?

    Do you really want to risk 70 dollars on whether both of the players do not have a 6? Fold, because if you call, you are at best splitting the pot. Very -EV to call, in my opinion.

    Bet that flop more if you are trying to get folds.
    Dont bet it at all if you arent.

    When you make the straight try and get to a cheap showdown. there is a good chance you are splitting and all you have is the 1 card low end. Crap hand. Fold to that much aggression.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    it depends a lot on the opps. I've definitely seen people slowplay sets on the flop like that and then panic and raise when the turn completes a draw. But I agree that you're very rarely winning the whole pot, splitting it a reasonable % of the time, and losing more often than winning outright.
    AWOL.

    Ask any Pot-Limit Omaha/8 just how much fun it is to call here playing for maybe half a pot if the other guy isn't bluffing.
