easy fold here...unless you have specific reads.

ya, lead that flop.


You've got a CO poster, a BB who has checked, and an SB who simply completed. No one has shown any aggression and there's no reason to believe many/any of them have more than random junk.

Your paired ace is very likely the best. Bet it out for value, and to maybe thin this field. You don't want this checked through, and as outlined above you have no reason to believe that you're going to get the opportunity to check-raise anyone here.



The way this hand played out, looks like you gotta fold that turn. You're too often behind and drawing dead.
