It's a lot harder to attack and extract out of position. <BR/><BR/>As far as the hand goes, I don't like opening K5o to play pots... I will mostly open to steal the BB. It is a hand that is unlikely to win a big pot and more likely to lose a big pot. <BR/><BR/>Your hand is ahead on the flop but it's very vulnerable. If you're going to slow play, check flop and maybe even turn to pick up some pure steal cbets. If you're going to lead out, lead for closer to the pot. If I was in that guy's shoes, I'm calling down also, and if I have Ace high, I'm feeling good about it too... In other words, don't slowplay your self into losing a hand, IMO... on this flop, people will float flop and usually turn and there is no need to bet small. <BR/><BR/>But getting back to my main point... always lock up your position and hands will be a lot easier to play...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04543614268379117645noreply@blogger.com
