ATs

[nothumb]

Early on, no reads or notes. Table is typical, perhaps a little tight for .50/1.00...

I would check the turn here intending to fold without improvement. You have nothing and there are 3 other players in the pot. Your chance of winning is very small. Just take the free card and hope it's an A.

[cold_cash]

Your flop raise got you the freebie, why not take it?

On the turn your hand has only a snowball's chance of being best and it's not likely you're going to fold 3 (presumably loose) opponents, especially the one who is $0.35 away from being all in.

[WillMagic]

Why bet the turn? You've got the player on the shortstack who is definitely calling...The K is an awful card for your hand...your bet has no chance of taking the pot down right there, and it certainly isn't best at the moment...

Agreed with Will, no need to bet the turn.

I second everything cold_cash said.

Is AT suited really a hand to raise pf with? I too really don't like the turn bet. You're drawing thin and the flop raise (which I also think is questionable) got you the free card, take it and check/fold the river.

ATs is a definite raise at these limits from all positions.

I agree that the turn bet was bad. Take your free card, and fold the river unimproved.

ATs is most definitely a preflop raising hand from any position unless there has already been a raise.

The flop raise is also good. He has two overcards and a backdoor flush draw. The raise is likely to buy him a free card so he's paying less to have more chances at hitting an A, a T, or running hearts.
