Limit Hold'em Quiz #29--Playing A-6s in the Small Blind.

[Matt]

You are in the small blind with A:spades:6:spades:. The game does not seem overly tough or soft. However, you have only played a few hands and have no solid reads on any of your opponents. Everyone folds to the button, who raises. What do you do?

[Nima]

Raise, for the reason Matt mentioned in the quiz.

[Matt]

Raise. A:spades:6:spades: is better than most random hands. There is a good chance that you can pick up the pot by re-raising and betting out on the flop.
