A3s

Canterbury 8/16 (8 handed)

I limp A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG. Old dude UTG+1 raises, which could mean a lot of things (KJo, KQo), but doesn't mean I'm dead, EVERYBODY cold calls, when it gets back to me I think and think and think and (BB says "It's only 4 chips, what's there to think about")......discuss.

I assume your considering re-raising. With A3s I'm calling with something like JTs or 98s this may be a good spot for a raise but with A3s your pretty much playing for a flush against seven others and your OOP.

I would LRR hands likes 9Ts and JTs here, but with A3s I think that calling is best.

I think calling is still better, yeah he could have those hands you listed but an ace better than A3 is probably in someone's hand, often the PFR, and if there is, playing for three bets is really bad.

Easy flop call. I bet the river.

SmileyEH · #9 07-06-2005, 10:34 AM

Bet the river. Whole hand looks pretty standard to me. Nice hand.

The collection of weak draws seems good enough to me at 19:1.
