PP 10 +1, AT0, check my line

[JMO]

So this kind of relates to my other thread as in what to do when an ace flops but your kicker isnt great. So should I have raised instead of limping? Did I give too much respect to the re raise on the flop? BTW not really sure what 'check my line' means but think it sounds pretty cool.

Fold preflop. Don't play ATo OOP early in the tourney, it's just not worth it. As played, you have to call the flop minraise because you're getting 7:1 on the call.

On the flop, even though you hit your A, I would actually check here rather than betting out. It is dangerous to lead into a preflop raiser who has position on you. If I did make a loose preflop call and play ATo here I would only get excited if I flopped two pair, trips or better. If it is checked on the flop around I might take a stab on the turn.

As played, you have to fold to the flop minraise. Sure, you might have opp outkicked but it's gonna be real expensive to find out and potentially be wrong.

Fold pre flop this early.

folding to the minraise would be a mistake. i fold it to begin with.

check/call if u wanna play. if you check then you get to see if any of the others are gonna play. pfraiser will proably bet 3/4 pot then you can play by ear.

here tho its a fold on the flop as unlikely he hasnt the ace or that beaten.

This is why everyone is saying not to play A rag. Unless you know how to handle them post flop and/or out of position they are a bitch and can cost you so much more money than they make you.

So should I have raised instead of limping?

no, you should have folded pre-flop

Did I give too much respect to the re raise on the flop?

Unless you have a strong read that villian is very loose you HAVE to respect the raise

BTW not really sure what 'check my line' means but think it sounds pretty cool.

LMAO - Yes, you used this in the correct context. Check my line means you want someone to review your betting and see if it makes sense based on the hand.

Limping preflop is probably the worst of the 3 options

Folding is best

Raising is better then limping, but your position is a bit too early to do it.
