online 3-6
i'm in BB with A9o and get a free play. theres 3 limpers + the sb. 6 handed to the flop. 18$ in pot.
[Qh 7h 9c] i have the Ah.
sb bets out, sb is a habitual semi-bluffer, he either has two medium hearts, 10/8, or maybe something like A7. a stronger draw or a solid made hand and he would checkraise.
so what do i do here? i'm pretty sure sb's drawing and if i could isolate him with a raise that'd be ideal, but i might not be able to, plus if someone 3-bets i'm probably drawing even thinner than expected.
i could call and take one off, but then i wouldn't know where i stood. even a raise from another player could just mean 2 hearts, or it could mean i'm drawing nearly dead vs. AQ (no raise btf but limping with AQ is common in this game).
or i could just fold, the pot's not that big, and there could be a Q out already, and if there isn't i'm vulnerable to overcards. the prospect of a one-card runner-runner flush definitely isn't enough to dictate a call.
what do you guys think, i seem get into these situations alot in my blinds and i think i'm leaking funds by not playing them well.
thanks.
