UTG+2 folded which was a good sign.Hit my Ace on the turn; should I have bet out?Just called on the river.Comments please

Don't call 2 cold with a6s.Don't call on the flop when you have nothing.Bet when you have top pair.

Bravo! Well said senor, and I look forward to check/raising you with A-high so you can value bet your 77 on the river. :wink:

Fold PF.Fold the flop.

Oh, and why call the river if you've checked top pair on the turn?

I like a-rag suited as much as the next guy, but not from middle position for two cold. Just get rid of it next time.Nor do I like your flop call. You're likely dominated unless you hit runner-runner heart; I don't like hitting the ace as I could be outkicked, and with this board, KQ or AQ both have you drawing basically dead. Not to mention that I can see JT hanging around as well ("But why would they call two cold with JT?" you ask. "Why would you call two cold with A6s?" I answer).

ummmm, you played this hand wrong on every street. Don't call two cold unless your in the co and everyone else has called two cold. UTG+2 has you in a bad position. If he has a big pair you can only draw to a weak ace. If he has a big ace you can only draw to your kicker or pray for a flush. Flop you need to fold as you only have a weak overcard and two backdoor draws. On the turn you need to bet, even though you shouldn't have been in the hand in the first place. How can ou hit your hand and then just check? Makes no sense whatsoever. Why even play poker when you aren't gonna bet when you hit your hand like this. River, you need to raise or fold as you get nothing at all by calling

Somehow I doubt you need any further explanation here, but sure.Folding two cold with A6 in the CO is easy with one caller. For all the "you only get action when you are beat" etc. reasons. Why get in a pot two cold with Axs unless you know there are at least 4 our five players to the flop?Calling this flop isn't as bad as calling PF. If you put the bettor on top pair only, say K-J, he is more than a 5 to 1 dog going to the turn. The pot odds here might be OK for a call, but this doesn't even shed light on the fact that if an ace comes, he is only getting action here when behind from a pot raised PF with four players in. I fold.
