Ugh, sorry Davelin. My first response to your post wasn't right and it's too late too edit. I was focused only on thinking that you meant getting A9/A6/A3 to fold when if any other ace to folded it would also be great for the Hero.

Of course, it's very unlikely A9 is folding, fairly unlikely A6/A3 is folding, and possible AT or higher calls 2 cold anyway - especially the PFR LAG who is seeing the river or the loose SB who will probably see the turn with two overs. Still, the raise does have some merit, but I think the value you get from the callers outweighs the amount of times you get a better Ace to fold. (I haven't proved this mathematically and if anyone wants to work it out, I would be happy to be proved wrong.)

This whole situation could've been avoided by folding preflop. This exact situation is what makes the Hero's relative position so terrible.
