A6s blind steal hand, how many outs do I have on the flop?

[nickg1532]

Unfortunately I don't have much in the way of reads.

Although my draws are pretty weak I think I have enough outs (after discounting) to continue with this hand. Assuming this is correct (it may not be) should I raise to clear up my Ace outs, and maybe fold a Jack so my T outs can be good?

call. and reevaluate on the turn. you have the ass-end of a straight and BDFD. the pot is pretty big, and i don't think reraising will protect you, especially if BB already has a BB special flopped straight.

Possibly optimistic but I'd still call this 11 outs. Raising the flop would be good (while it's still cheap). BB will at least call but may start to worry that you already have straight. If you get re-raised you can start to worry about 99 (in which case you need the straight, or two As) or TJ (in which case you have to make your BDF). Until either is proven to you then play this draw aggressively.

Id raise the flop. With the straight draw, Ace, and backdoor flush I think you want to make anyone with a J or A pay to sit in this pot and hope for their card. You have the outs/draws to raise now while its cheaper.

How do you get 11 outs? I think that's overly optimistic.

I like a flop raise here. I don't want those J's hanging around, and a spiked A may win it if we raise here.

4 5's, 1.5 for the BD flush, maybe 1.5 for the 3 aces, and 3 for the 4 10's. So 10 outs? Seems high - I'd say 8.5.

calling is fine on the flop
