I Don\'t Like It....
 

I usually avoid low aces, but I've been trying to open up. The opening up is working great, but I'm not sure about this hand.

UTG - loose/passive... 65/0 after 30 hands.
Button - Also loose/passive with almost identical stats.
SB - Loose/aggro at 50/20.

After the passive guy wakes up, am I done? Call down? Or am I losing value by not raising the turn?

I like it, it's doubtful he has a 4, isn't it? Seems like he has AKo/AQo or something.

You're beat to a 4 almost every time. A4, K4, 45, 46, 47, 34, 44... these guys can potentially play any or all of those, suited or offsuit. I like raising the flop here against this field. At least make the bozos behind you pay 2 for their gutshots if they want to call. SB seems laggy enough that he'll pay you off with a smaller pocket pair even if you raise him on the flop.

Check the action again.

Re: I Don\'t Like It....
 

PF - standard
Flop - I really think you need to raise this. The pot is pretty big and you have to worry about protecting your hand. Sb could very well have a bigger ace but you don't want someone w/a 4 to draw out on you if you hit your kicker. I think a flop raise is the way to go and hope you don't get 3 bet.

Turn - Well, I think I need to see what sb does on the turn before I know what I'll do. If he caps I think you can toss. If he calls, you have odds to call for your FH outs which are only 3 and not the traditional 4.

A player raised from the blinds.. which hands that include a 4 is he raising here?

Re: I Don\'t Like It....
 

This looks like the kind of situation where I grit my teeth and call down. I am definitley folding if it is capped back to me but I expect that the SB will fold and I will find myself up against 44.

I think we're more concerned about the passive button who woke up and 3-bet the turn than the pfr.

Re: I Don\'t Like It....
 

Alright, missed that.. twice.

Re: I Don\'t Like It....
 

If sb 3 bets me and its heads up, I think I still call any turn. I likely still have 7 outs. 3 for my two pair and 4 for my gut.
