Too weak/tight?

[oscark]

UTG appears tight/aggressive, although I had an insufficient number of hands on him. MP3 is an 80/20 LAG.

If you don't like how I played it, please give me a better approach.

I'd play it the same.

How can you do anything else? I mean, what on earth is a solid UTG going to checkraise two players with on a draw free ace high board like this? I'd say, 90% some kind of solid ace. 9% a set. 1% or less something you beat.

Note that it's very difficult for the solid player to take advantage of the knowledge that you will make this fold. He has to be ready to checkraise after limping with 99, and then hope that neither you nor the caller has an ace, and that his hand holds up against whatever it is the caller has. In a smallish pot, this is a dicey proposition at best.


Good luck.
