A6o in the BB... how\'d I do?
 

This hand was pretty bizarre... I'd love to hear some opinions on it. Should I have bailed at some point? Been more aggressive?

My thinking was that on the flop, I have 2 overcards, a gutshot straight draw with a 3, and a backdoor straight draw if there's a runner runner 7 8. I can stick around for 1 small bet.

On the turn, I'm thinking I may have as many as 11 outs here possibly... 4 eights, 4 threes, 3 aces. Probably fewer good outs, but at 5.5 to 1 I can probably call.

On the river I've paired my 6... since the flop was all undercards to that, there's a slim chance that top pair or overcards was getting bet, and I might have the best hand. Very slim, I think, but for one more bet I'll find out.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

Re: A6o in the BB... how\'d I do?
 

is it a mad suggestion check-raising the flop? It may force out some ace overcards from EP/MP, even score you a free card to complete a straight if you don't spike an A or 3 on the turn...

Comments welcome,

No, that's an interesting idea. It would probably be good to clean up some outs, and if the button is just betting his position, it could take the pot there (unlikely, but still a slim chance).

Potato,

Check-raising the flop is good because you could get a bigger Ace to fold.
