Default Re: A3s in the BB, what\'s my flop play

I believe folding is correct here.

A big factor is that you are so badly out of position, and SB has just bet into seven other people on this flop. To me, that shows extreme strength and I would be very surprised if SB had a had that we beat, besides an occasional flush draw.

If you just call and the pot is raised behind you you aren't going to be able to fold for one more bet, and you could very likely be forced to make a lot of mistakes down the road. Even if you spike your kicker on the turn you could easily be behind, and it might cost you a lot to find out since you're going to have to try to protect your hand in this huge pot.

Versus a smaller field or with a better position (or, of course, if the pot were bigger) I would play this hand, but here I don't think my hand is worth a small bet, so I'm folding.
