    Default Is this weak of a button steal?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($89.65)
    UTG ($73)
    UTG+1 ($50)
    MP1 ($34.50)
    MP2 ($49.50)
    CO ($83)
    Hero ($75.80)
    SB ($49)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, 7.
    5 folds, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($4.25) J, A, 6 (2 players)
    BB bets $3, Hero folds.

    Only read is BB is 15/2/.8 over ~30 hands. Easy fold?

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    If it folds to you on the button with a hand like this do you just fold? I think I would play raise>fold>call in this spot.

    30 hands is way too few for a post-flop read, imo. His pre-flop numbers suggest he might be a nit, which is why I like a raise here.

    I like the steal, personally. I steal with a lot worse.

    I steal with a lot worse, too. Just not with horrible one-pair reverse-implied odds hands like A7. This isn't limit holdem; you can get yourself into more trouble than it's worth versus a tricky opponent.
