wouldve made it 150, but i dont think its that big a deal to go 180

[taipan168]

Seems fine to me. I agree with Roco, I might have made it 150 but if they'll fold to 180 they'll mostly fold to 150 too.

Hell, I might have even made it 210 with 3 limpers and being OOP in the SB. 150, 180, its all your own preference but at least you didn't make it 60 or 90.

Nah I think you played it fine; I would rather pick up the blinds then have someone limp with A3 sooted and hit an A on the flop.

If they are limping and calling our raise with A3s, why is this a bad thing?

[Rycky4Golf]

Calling our raise with A3s is a great thing, all we can do is make them pay too much to see it... of course I know you already know this.

[caddie444]

YOU RAISED IT TO 180?!?! TOO MUCH!!!










I would have raised to 150 myself. You played it fine. People will usually call with all sorts of hands even facing the 180 raise. As was stated, if they're not calling for 180 there's a 95% chance they're not calling for 150.

I wasn't clear. What I was trying to say is that I would rather raise and pick up the blinds than limp in to try and catch someone. I would agree that people calling our raise with A3s is in our favor.

I would raise a bit less, probably about 140
