Knowing CO was almost all-in I probably would have played this hand more aggressively and worked on a side pot against the SB. You're getting about 18:1 on your turn call there. Did you have an option of c/r'ing to $3 on the turn or were you only allowed to call?

[Goon2]

You are likely drawing to two outs against CO. You don't have the odds to call.

Does anyone raise the turn here to get money out of the SB as your a probably ahead of him?

[smartalecc5]

i would call and hope he doent have the A.

[Zetack]

I think I would have folded to a full bet on the turn...but since Co was all in I wouldn't have to pay him off anymore and I thought there was a reasonable chance the Sb didn't have an ace or he would have put in at least a full bet or a raise. His check call and check half call wasn't screaming trip aces. Of course he could've been intimidated by the aggressive play of the Co and had a weak ace.

I didn't really think about raising here, but perhaps I should have.

Rest of the hand:

Turn: (8 BB) A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets $1 (All-In)</font>, SB calls, Hero calls.

River: (9.50 BB) T/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

I was a bit surprised to see the Sb bet after the check/half call on the turn but I wasn't going away for one more bet.

Raises.

I would say that you are either up against trips or an Ace. Either way, the only card that can save you on the river is a queen. You odds to draw a queen on the river are 1-22, you pot odds are only 8-1, so you should most definately fold.

I do

Results in white below:
SB shows 3c Jc (two pair, aces and threes).
Hero shows Qs Qd (two pair, aces and queens).
CO shows 6s 6c (two pair, aces and sixes).
Outcome: Hero wins 11.50 BB.

Hmm, interesting PF cold calling hands...

His pot odds are 18:1. The BB is two dollars. The bet to hero to close the action is only a dollar. Not only would i call, but if i have any inkling that SB is a typical fish i would probably raise, if allowed.
