Default Probably uberstandard

Folded to me on button, I raise with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The blinds, both very LP, call.

The flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
check-check, I bet, they call

The turn is T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

check-check again, I bet again for a free showdown.

Is it OK? After being called on the flop I assume I'm behind if I'm called again on this turn.

SB shows A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and I was behind on each and every street. Is there another way I could play this hand? Folding preflop maybe against these blinds?

I'd bet the river for value after being called on the turn. You should have no reason here to think villian has a bigger ace than you. Preflop is fine, too.

FYP. Bet the river, fold to raise.

Bet the turn. Bet the river if they call and check to you. These are easy value bets against the players we see - sometimes he'll be calling you down with AJ, but we aren't trying to win every hand - often they'll both have 1 pair hands or drawing hands or junk.

Yes, you <font color="black">MUST</font> bet. A bet on the turn is for value and obligatory. Many typical players get it wrong here, see monsters under the bed and fail to bet here. Do not let the 3-flush board scare you as players will frequently call you here with worse hands.
