5/10 Trip Aces, check/fold?
 

5/10 6-max, no reads

I limp A3K9ss UTG, CO limps, SB limps, BB checks

Flop AA7

Blinds check, I bet, CO+SB call, BB folds

Turn 8s, two spades on board

SB checks, am I still betting though it's likely no one is folding the case ace or a low here? Say I bet and both call, what's my river plan if I don't fill?

Burd,

At 5/10, I don't think you can afford to be tricky or passive with this hand, but becaause the SB is still in the hand....that's trouble because he could have a wider range of hands.

I bet the river unimproved. You have the best kicker....unless a spade comes...then I go into check call mode with the cutoff.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the CO turn over something like A 3 4 and you pick up the high side.

Burdz - Yes. It's most likely both CO and SB are on low draws here. one of them may have the case ace, but if so, you have a king kicker. Very unlikely one of them has filled at this point. (Even unlikely that either has the case ace).

Probably check/call.

It's more unlikely that someone is full with the 7 on board than if it was lower, like 2,3, or 4.

I think the river is a check call unless you fill. The case ace isn't folding, and there will probably be a backdoor straigt and or flush present on the riv. Fill, bet, UI, check call.
