Play along A9s 3/6 6-max
 

x-post from HUSH. Don't read the hand there though because the whole thing is posted.

Reads: Button is tight and of unknown aggression. Other players are pretty much donkeys.

It is an easy hand, but there are 2 decisions that I think are somewhat close.

Are you talking about raising the flop here?

If we knew Button was aggressive I might advocate some fancy play &amp; smooth call BB's bet, hoping to 3-bet a raise by the Button. But since we don't know his aggression level &amp; can't count on a raise if he has a big ace, let alone if he doesn't, I go ahead and get the raise in now.
