SlackerInc 0 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Every so often you're going to find yourself in one of these situations. You've got an ace with a nothing kicker, but what are you going to do if no one raises your blind? Now you've hit top pair...that's not nothing (but it could be a trap situation).

fitzinabox 0 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It seems like i would be a little bit more worried about UTG than the SB. I would prolly call and re evaluate the turn. Link to post Share on other sites
bahlgren342 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I would probably call. And dump from an UTG 3-bet or another huge SB bet on the turn. He's showing he might have an Ax also. For some reason people think its smart to slow play AK/AQ UTG at these small stakes. Link to post Share on other sites
SlackerInc 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'll move it along to the river since I don't think the turn will be controversial:Flop: (t120) 9, J, A(3 players)SB bets t80, Hero calls t80, UTG calls t80Turn: (t360) 4(3 players)SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checksRiver: (t360) 3(3 players)SB checks, Hero...?I didn't like the third diamond on the turn, and I wonder if someone's trapping with a flush. Still, I've now got aces up--not a bad hand. Bet it or go for a check call? Link to post Share on other sites
SlackerInc 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 River: (t360) 3(3 players)SB checks, Hero bets t200, UTG raises to t935 (All-In), SB calls t935, Hero foldsTotal pot: t2430Anyone call this? I just didn't figure I could possibly have both of them beat. Not sure what I would have done had SB folded...probably a crying call. Link to post Share on other sites
