I run into this situation a lot ... sometimes I know what I'm doing... other times I feel slightly confused.

Only in the second orbit (17 hands), don't know much about UTG. He's played three hands. K10o and A6s were shown

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t1750)
UTG+1 (t1165)
MP1 (t1200)
MP2 (t1440)
Hero (t2795)
Button (t990)
SB (t1720)
BB (t2440)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
This for all intents of this discussion could be Queens or Jacks, or 10s. I pretty much have the same issues with all three when that Ace flops[i]

UTG calls t30, <font color="#666666">[i]3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG calls t120.

Flop: (t345) 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t300</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t840</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1600</font>, Hero...


<font color="white"> Hero folds. UTG collected (2025) BOooOoooooo

The worst of all is when you have kings and that Ace comes and you bet out and get raised, you just know you have to lay it down. I think the same thing applies in this case, even worse this looks like he has A-7 or A-6. As much as it hurts to fold it's a play you have to make in cases like this.

D'OH... nm... sorry for the 'sorta' duplicate post... (attachment to high pairs - leak?) ...
(though this is slightly different because of the PF limp and position)
