A different line...

[cockandbull]

Lots of questions...Is a preflop call standard here considering the general rasing standards of UTG or am i bumping this pot due to the overlay of MP. On the flop i figured i'd check-raise UTGs bet but once MP raises i plan on calling and seeing what UTG does, before deciding on a turn line. Who just c-3bets here? On the turn is where i'm a little unsure...hows the line i took? On the river i thought about 3 betting here but chickened out, thinking about it the 7 shouldn't really help anyone here, so i should 3-bet and call a cap?

UTG 100 hands 46/5/0.8 w2sd 27 w@sd 67
MP 100 hands at 75/13/1 w2sd 38 w@sd 47

sorry to bump this, esp. as i have two other threads going at the moment, but i feel this is a hand that will take one/two answers to clear up and then it can fall gracefully from your screens.

I lead this flop. With an Ace on board and a PFR, I doubt MP is sticking around for the turn unless he has a flush draw or Ace, and he will coldcall 2 bets with either hand if UTG raises. If UTG raises my lead then I can check-raise the turn as I can feel pretty good that he has an Ace and will bet the turn enough to make this a good play. Check-raising the flop might slow down a passive player with AK.

As the hand played out, I don't stop raising ever. I would have 3-bet the flop. If MP has AQ or A9, oh well. But, I've seen way too many people go overboard with trip aces that I can't see slowing down.
