heres a comprehensive review of the hand, and this is the last thing im going to say about it unless someone wants to come up with a serious challenge.
blinds r 2/4, standard stack should be around 400 unless we are playing deep or shallow which wasnt specified, so we have to assume the standard.
we have no information on how anyone plays, so we shouldnt jump to conclusions either in this spot.
heres the hand again (players numbered 1-10).
1. UTG player limps in. has a playable hand, probably a very small chance hes loaded and trapping and hoping for a raise, no we can assume that though. if he repops when it got back to him id be worried, but for now im not at all.
2. UTG+1 player limps in. same story as UTG but the chance of him trapping a big hand is nonexistent since someone already limped in front of him, which means a guy already has interest in the hand.
3,4,5 players all fold.
6. HJ (2 players before button) this player makes it 16. contrary to what you 1980s type players may think, he doesnt have to have ak or aa here. im sure he likely has a strong hand, but we are still racing against the majority of his range. in a vacuum with no prior reads, id think this player would raise with any medium to high pair or hands like ak, aq, aj, a10, kq (highly unlikely since we already have that), maybe even kj or smaller suited aces. hands like ak aq qq kk are going to be less likely then normal since we already have a blocker to each of those hands.
7. CO (player before button) probably has a decent hand, definitely not a hand that dominates ours though. bigger holdings would have 3 bet for sure with already 2 other limpers. this would be a horrible spot to trap.
8. BUTTON (us) if we call, and everyone else folds (which is highly unlikely given the large pot odds the 2 limpers were given), we will be getting ~3.5-1 (16 bucks to play a pot with 54 dollars in it) with a top 15 hand in the best position possible. folding would be a joke at this point. the most likely result of our call is that the blinds will pass (probably have nothing playable) and the limpers will both call. if this happens we will get over 5-1 (16 bucks to play a pot with 86 dollars in it) with a top 15 hand in the best position possible. this isnt even figuring the blinds coming into the hand, which would make our odds even better. if the sb/bb or utg player makes the 3 bet, THEN i would start to think that i was in really bad shape in this hand, since they made a 3 bet OOP with all that action in front of them.
