PLO8: This situation continues to bite me.

I'm in BB with AK95 unsuited, and 4 players limp. Flop is AA10 unsuited. SB checks. What is the correct play?

I'm leaning towards potting, and if I get a caller and don't fill on the turn, check/folding. The alternate of checking the flop and betting the turn after missing seems to be a continually losing play (although small amounts). The advantage of betting the flop includes getting any backdoor low draws out.

i think that betting the flop and then shutting down unless you fill up isnt horrible. this can be such a trap situation if youre not really careful. but if you are careful you can get value here against a bad opponent.

take this as an example of a hand like this played poorly. i think the turn is an easy fold.

KVOM,

Your flop calls for knowledge of your opponents.
If there is a probable chance they will bet you may consider check-calling/raising.
If not a capped bet is in place.
The situation would be easier if you replace the T with any low card:
Here you have a better chance at having players chasing a low draw while you have ten outs for a boat.

Antistuff,
Your example is not good.
44Q will usually mean an easy fold, especially on a small pot.
You only hold 6 in your hand and a pair of 3's less likely to catch.
Even IF you do catch you prolly will lose to a higher House.
Also, If you catch this would mean another low card on board with higher probablity of spliting with lows.
------------> Easy fold....

Do not overplay flopped trip, especially out of position.

AK95 is really weak on a AAT flop oop. You either win a little or lose a lot. If you have something like AKQJ then we may have something to talk about.

that was my point. i was trying to give an example of exactly what not to do.

On the given hand I actually underplayed it and lost a little. The flop was checked around. A 6 came on the turn and I bet half the pot, with one caller. I checked the river, and called a small bet, to be shown 66. A bet on the flop would have folded everyone.
