CO in this hand is super loose super passive. Basically if he bets or raises, then you're looking at a good hand. Otherwise he could turn over almost any two cards. SB had just called me down with K5o against my ATo the previous hand where I raised preflop and bet every street (rags for both of us) until the river brought his 5 and he took it down. So he's definately loose.

Preflop: Hero is Button with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG folds, MP folds, CO calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, BB folds, CO calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (10 SB) 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, CO calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.50 BB) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, CO calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, CO calls.
My thinking here is CO could have anything except a jack (would have raised) and I either have the best hand or I might scare off SB's Ax if the x is higher than my 8.

River: (11.50 BB) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
CO checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls.

Final Pot: 13.50 BB
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: 13.50 BB, between CO and Hero.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by Hero (13.50 BB).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
CO shows 4s 6s (two pair, jacks and sixes).
Hero shows Ah 8c (two pair, aces and jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins 13.50 BB. </font>

I think that it's almost impossible to get a paired ace to fold in this game without forcing it to face more than one bet at a time.

I find you actually have to pull out a gun to get A2 to fold. And not a small gun either. You need one of those Rambo numbers.
