ATs in UTG

[StuR]

Very loose table. Correct to check/fold? I have middle pair with an overcard (4 clean outs, 1 partial) And my hand susceptible to redraws to hearts or the straight. Or is My play too passive? Who bets this flop?

Raising this pre-flop could have made your decision much easier. SOP for me would be to raise this pre-flop, bet the flop, call a single raise, and check/fold the turn unimproved.

1. ATs at a loose table is a good call, I wouldn't raise it UTG cos you want callers for your nut flush not be heads up vs a better hand.

2. Good fold

No. This is a definite raise. Most of the time you aren't going to win with the flush. And in any case, at Party $.5/1, you'll get callers a lot of the time whether you raise or not.

Edit: I should clarify - Most of the time you aren't going to make a flush with this hand. Obviously you'll win with the nut flush most of the time.
