A9s, misplayed on every street

[private joker]

Except maybe the turn, which I can defend.

BB is a LAG, UTG is unknown...

The flop is either a 3-bet or fold kinda situation. If you're ahead, it's by a little. If you're behind, you're dead. My agro side usually makes me 3 bet it. With the line you took, the street were fine IMO.

[Xiphoid]

Raise PF as well?

[That guy]

if you were anticipating a multiway limped pot, I think you played this correctly -- otherwise, I don't enter this pot. You probably got beat on the river but you knew that was the risk when you 3-bet the flop...

[Moozh]

Looks good to me. I agree the flop is a 3-bet or fold. With BB being a LAG, the three-bet seems more correctly. Were it two TAGs, I'd probably let it go.

Bet the turn, check behind the river. Looks good.

What happens if you're bet into or chack-raised on the turn?

What if you're bet into on the river?

I try not to fold A9s in an unraised pot. It's quite a bit stronger than a smaller Axs.

[Perseus]

I can't think of any situation ever where I would open-limp A9, A10, or AJ. I try not to ever do it and it's never really cost me anything. Remember if the flop comes down AQ10 you can get yourself into serious trouble being out of position.

agree but he was UTG+2, he doesn't know if it is going to be a raised pot or not unless that had been a strong pattern at the table.

I limp every time if I am playing live B&amp;M with A9s but online is usually more TAGgy than that...

It's not like he loses the pot if it's raised behind him.

[Xiphoid]

Does anyone else raise this PF and if not, why? ATs is an automatic raise, but I believe SSH says A9s can also be raised because it is a marginal +EV situation.

[private joker]

The more I think about this, the sh[/i]ittier my flop play becomes. The pot is still small and I have very few outs to improve, and I may be drawing dead. As Reef said, if I have the best hand it's not by a lot. This should have been a trivially easy flop fold. Damn.

[mr pink]

i'll usually raise A9s or A8s in late position after a couple limpers. it plays well multiway and it usually owns a lot of smaller Ax crap and other limping hands.

[chief444]

I agree. If the action was check, check, bet...I would like a raise. But with a bet and raise in front of you I think this is a good time to let it go.

[Etric]

Small pot with two bets back to me; I would muck on the flop. UTG seems like he has a pretty good hand, but one that can't beat a flush right now(two pair or a set, maybe 77, or a high heart) but that has outs.
