Looking at the board on the flop and seeing how it is fairly drawless, you should be able to put the BB on a range of hands.

So when he calls the flop I'm thinking:

Ace, Ten, Maybe a 3, pocket pair, 4 to a broadway like QJ or KJ and that is about it.

If he has a A/T you are beat. When the K comes on the turn, you are now behind all broadway hands he could have called the flop with (KJ, QJ, KQ). I might check here and fold to a river bet. A bet is fine because you can safely fold to a check/raise. When he calls the turn I'm checking the river because I expect to lose if I get called and there is no way he is folding a A/K/T imo.

thanks, I feel like I always get in situations I don't like when attacking blinds. They always seem to fight hard pre-flop, just not used to it yet.

I play this the same way.

Betting the turn is hard but I think you have to do it because if you don't you lose this hand even if the board doesn't help villian. There's a very good chance he folds the turn after he checks to you so betting is fine here. When he calls you're pretty fairly screwed. Checking the turn shows you hate the board and practically gaurantees he'll bluff and you'll have to fold when he leads the river. This is a tough hand.

That's how I saw it to, If im not betting that turn he is leading that river and making me fold alot. I guess the pot was small and I could duck out?......

Just a minute ago another situation came up. Im BB it gets folded to button and he raises, Sb folds to me. I have ATo, whats your play?

3 bet and lead the flop. I would probably do this with any Ace. This is all assuming the button is the type that could steal and isn't just some rock who has a hand and it happened to be folded to him on the button.

What's your read on villian? If you think he's on a steal reraise.

2 options:

1) Call. Check/raise any flop unless it contains an ace. Check/call any flop with an ace in it.

2) 3-bet preflop and fire at the flop.

This looks good, but don't listen to me. I'm trying to learn not to fall in love with my pocket pairs. Being out of position sucks, too. I'm surprised there was no bet on the river.

What do you do if bet to in that situation?

This river is either a bet/ fold or check/call.

This makes no sense. I think I was mixing up my responses. I meant to reply to a different hand. Sorry about that.

I can't even claim drunkeness...
