PokerStars 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with [5s], [As].
1 fold, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) [Jd], [Ac], [5h] (3 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) [7c] (3 players)
BB folds, Hero bets

hmmm...I can only put him on 3 hands at this point, AK, AJs, JJ ...any reads? if no reads I say call down. pobably wrong though.

Raise that flop, IMHO. You will be raising for value against strong Aces (A-K, A-Q) that will call you down, and you will gain valuable info on the cheap street on the UTG+2 guy, ie if he calls, there's a good chance he's got A-J, if he raises maybe Aces or Jacks...

I'd call the turn raise, bet the river for value, and call a raise. With no real draw potential here, I'm thinkin that two pair is good. He's got you beat with A-J, Aces or Jacks. I doubt that he would have raised pf with anything else that could beat you ie A-7, pocket 7's. There's a reasonably good chance that he thinks his A-K or A-Q is best here. Especially without too much action on the flop.

But I think you are ahead often enough here to push with your two pair.

This is a weird hand because the idiot in the BB messed everrything up by opening up the turn betting by folding (after he lead out on the flop). I suppose you were going to raise him here when he bet out. But when he folds, it may look like you're trying to steal it since you just called on the flop. The guy that raises you here could just have TP with a weak kicker.

Raise that flop. If BB cold calls two bets on that flop (or raises), you can safely put yourself at risk, especially if he still raises the turn. Plus, it protects your hand from the high or low inside straight draws (which might call a single bet on the flop, thinking about implied odds).

That said, call the turn bet and either b/c the river or c/c (if the river card is a 10, Q, or K).

I'm in call down mode now (and of course hoping for to fill up with the 5c), unless I have a read that says he an agressive player saying he is pushing a flush draw or AT suited type hand.

Incidentally, I think I'm beat by 77. My random intuitive stab. Sidebet anyone? I need odds though.

HAHA

the BB folded, hilarious

but 3 bet turn, if it caps, check/call river. If he calls the 3, bet/call river

Hero.... laughs at the BB
Then thinks.... UTG+2 raised preflop, and called the flop, then gets aggressive here. What might he have?
A slowplayed Set, AK-A10 (AJ is the only one of those ahead of you)
I dont think he's slowplaying TPTK, It looks like it might be a set or two pair IMO. Any reads?
I might call down at that point.

If you're going to slowplay middle two pair on the flop, it's clearly with the intent of jamming a safe turn.

This is a safe turn.

Reraise here. Bet/call the river, unless a K or Q falls, then you check/call.

My read too.

I three-bet.

Agreed. You pay of a set or something a good portion of the time, curse your own bad luck when he has AJ and decided to play it just like YOU played your two pair, and cackle mercilessly when he turns over AQ the other half of the time

Ice

Yeah, I'd probably 3-bet this. But, I'm prone to chip-spewing, so this may be the wrong move. :?
