help.

home-game no limit. 10-handed


the buy in is about 10 bucks but by now each has around 40 to 60 in front of them...i have everyone covered.


Some Info:

He's a new guy to our game [i've played w/ him a couple times before, he's tight-passive-weak] but other than that, is solid in terms of not being a loose maniac newbie.


the round before this, I had A-2 w/ the Ace of hearts on the button and it cost me 25 cents to call so i called. 9 way action.


FLOP: A-Kh-10h


All checked to me and I bet 3 bucks. Guy to my immediate left calls, the weak-tight-passive player calls, and everyone else folds.


11.25 in the pot.


Turn: 3h


I've picked up the nut flush draw w/ top pair, junky kicker.


Checked to me and I bet the pot [11.25], guy to my immedate left raises about half the pot more [which puts him all-in] [21.25 to go] and the weak-tight-passive takes a while to call, he takes a while so I thought I had him beat and I talk him into calling when he was about to fold. I wanted him in because I have the nut flush draw and felt I was already ahead w/ my top pair.

I called the raise.


River: blank.


What would u guys do now?


Comments, flames, questions, feel free to reply, and thanks for the inputs.


Results to come.

He checked and I checked.


All in guy had K-9 for a pair of kings, and weak-tight had A-Q w/ Queen of hearts.


He told me that he thought the all in raiser had already made a flush and didn't want to draw.


Of course, had I kept my mouth shut I would've won...


OR, had I made any sizable bet on the river he would have folded but I never once considered that.

I would muck A2o pre-flop.


On the flop I can't imagine you are ahead with 9 players in. It would be surprising that someone doesn't have a better Ace. That being said betting is not the worst play in the world.


On the turn I would check. Sure you have the nut flush draw but there is only 1 card to go. Once you are check-raised folding is a viable option but for another 11 it probably makes sense to call. I can't imagine you win unless you hit the flush or maybe your kicker.


I would check the river. Even though the weak-passive guy was thinking of folding the turn he did call a $21 bet.
