AJs from MP, 2 pair on the turn

[Fat Nicky]

3rd or 4th orbit at the table.

MP2 is definitly loose, can't pinpoint whether passive/aggro.
UTG+1 - not much of a read, seems reasonable thus far.

I call down here, although I think it's likely you're beat. I hate folding in these spots, even when they tell me I'm beat.

[Fat Nicky]

Well, the chance I think I am beat prohibits be from 3-betting, but I'm definitly not folding Aces up.

Any other opinions??

[MHarris]

I call down here. You may still be best, and if not, you have a redraw to the best full house. I can't see UTG having AA, KK, AK, or JJ here if they're reasonable. AQ, AJ, QT, A9, 99 and J9 are all possibilities.

AQ - 8 ways
AJ - 4 ways
A9 - 4 ways
J9 - 6 ways
99 - 3 ways
QT - 16 ways

So given just these possibilites, you're behind 19 times, ahead 18, and splitting 4. You're getting almost 11-1 on your call, which is plenty here.

I would raise. If UTG+1 is slowplaying a straight, I'll pay him off. But we are ahead of most of the other hands.
