Playing low Ax against LAGG opponents.

Thoughts on this?

Let's say we have a 32/27 who is opening his CO and we have A4o on the BU. We would normally be stealing with this hand but villain is preventing us from doing so by opening his CO before us the majority of the time.

How do we handle this situation?

Not sure at all why this would factor into the decision. There are a million combos of hands that we would open the button with that we should fold when opened in front of.

A2-A5o could arguably be 3b, but that depends on stacks and reads and whether Ad4s (eg) aligns with the exact low-card/suit combination that you picked for 5b bluffs before you started your session, etc.

And maybe the game has advanced to the point that good players flat here depending on the blinds, but I've been a live fish for half a decade now, so I'm behind the times.

Nails it. You could start by working through some pre-flop 3b/5b ranges in this spot and post here so that people can discuss the more controversial parts of those ranges.

Depending on image I would 3b this hand. After a few 3b, he might tighten up, or he'll start bombing on you :)
