In a full ring, there's a 75% chance that another player has an A dealt to him if YOU, as hero, have an A. Since YOU don't have an A, the likelihood is that two other guys received an A. And it is unlikely that both folded their A? preflop.

I'm not comfortable folding this hand, but I'm certainly not comfortable donating chips, either. What you really need is information, and I'm not sure how betting out gets it for you; so I'm in disagreement with those who say to do so. I suppose the situation would be easier if you had accurate reads on your opposition, but I personally don't see how.

I'd like to hear some feed back on this one from Sklansky, et al. It's a situation that occurs a lot in my play.
