And from playing 6-max I love open raising suited aces. Flop bet is automatic I think. Turn bet ok? I'm not loving the 3 spades.

nh.Are you folding to a trun raise?I often limp here if it's a really loose game behind me4 way action with a suited Ace can be a big payoff.I like your play, even if you get a few callers, you play ok mulitway

Looks pretty good to me. I know you're not liking the spade draw getting there, but that's no reason to slow down by itself.What's your line if someone raises the turn anyway?EDIT: Actuary, if the game is really loose, isn't that more reason to raise, as you'll get people incorrectly calling 2 betswith hands inferior to our A3?

The spade draw coming in is good news/bad news. If he doesn't have a spade it makes him more likely to fold. If he raises the turn I'm probably folding. Possibly calling and then check/calling a non-spade river. I don't remember any specific reads on this player now but I don't think he was the type to bluff raise so probably 80% fold, 20% call.

well, I wasn't thinking so loose they call two cold all the time.I like a raise here, if I expect to cut the field by at least halfI don't think a raise is ever (that if at all ) wrong here, actually.
