Question About Playing Aces Slowly.....


Recommended Posts

Sorry I dont know how to use a converter. Edit: Read the posting rules thread. I dont have the hand history so I cant use a converter. My bad.Anyway, important info:2/4 PLO (6 max) on Full TiltMe (UTG): $370Villain (button): $820Villain is super aggro but definitely not a bad player. Just a guy who puts you to the test a lot and is not afraid to bluff/semi-bluff.Anyways, I have AAJ8 with nut hearts. I limp, an MP limps, button raises pot, I call, MP folds. (i dont reraise here as I can only get a small part of my stack in and I am basically waving a flag that says I have ACES!!!!)Flop: Ac4h10dWhat is the best way to play this? Do I lead out? Do i check-raise? (Button is almost a sure thing to continuation bet but he often continuation bets only half the pot).Thanks in advance.....

Open raise preflop. If you never open limped ever you wouldn't be losing much.Pot size on the flop is 2+4+4+4+18+14 = $42If he's c/betting almost 100% of his range you should check to him. He has at most 9 outs if he has KQJx, and that's rare. Usually he will have a gutshot at most.I probably checkraise small. If he c/bets $25 I'd probably pop it to $70. If he's tricky I don't mind leading weak (~$15) on the flop to rep KQJ or some random hand like AKxx.You could c/c the flop and c/r the turn if he is the sort to fire two bullets with a weak hand, I guess.I don't mind any line really, other than open potting and checkraising full pot.
