bad cold call?

[Roark_8 0]

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is MP2 with [As], [8s]. UTG raises, SB calls, BB calls.Flop: (10 SB) [5s], [Kc], [3h] (5 players)SB checks, BB bets, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, SB calls.Turn: (7 BB) [7s] (4 players)SB checks, BB bets, UTG calls, Hero calls, SB calls.River: (11 BB) [Ad] (4 players)SB checks, BB bets, Hero ...The rest of the hand doesn't matter if was a bad play PF. I'm trying to eliminate Cold calls, but on loose passive tables, I'm trying to find the hands I should cold call with (if any). I did here because there was at least 1 caller in front of me with potencial for behind me with the way the table had been running. Also, in theory A8s has a little more EV than A3s? I think I played the rest of the hand marginally as the flop call was bad: 12 to 1 with 3 dirty outs and 1 clean (BD flush), etc. So I'm aware that the hand was played poorly, but I'm just wondering if cold calling with A(X>4)s and PP> 44 or 55 is +EV on passive micro limit tables where you see 5 people to the flop in a raised pot.

If I'm going to call 2 cold, I like to have more cold callers between me and the original raiser. Here you didnt have any so it seems risky to me.

I fold preflop.Maybe cold call with Ax suited if there are more people already in.

Bad Cold CallIf you are going to be playing limit, def read SSHE. The reason I can comment on this limit hand is because its an easy error to spot. There's not too many hands you are going to cold call a raise with. This is not one of them.

Limping in here in MP2 with two people in front of you is ok.

Okay, then what is? If I had one more limper? A10s with the same amount of people in? I know the line is fuzzy, but I want to at least get a starting point. Do people call with 55 in that same situation (1 raise, 1 caller, MP)?

It's basically the gap concept in play:You need a better hand to call a raise with then to actually raise with.Also, if you are going to play a speculative hand, you need more limpers.

Limping here with MP2 would be great. Cold overcalling a raise from UTG is bad. You already know this though, maybe you missed the UTG raise?
