O8 PL SNG button

I am on the Button it is 5 handed folded blinds are 50/100 blinds are unremarkable. I am dealt

AsAdAcKc. Raise or fold. Normaly this hand goes in the muck but with a chance to steal and a hand that plays reasonalbly HU is worth a shot. A pot raise would represent about 1/3 of my stack. The blinds have similar.

Your hand is fairly weak, and what you should do here depends almost entirely on how tight the BB/SB are. Since you have 3 of the aces, its very likely neither of them has a playable hand. So the question is, how likely are they to play semi-playable hands? Against looser players I’d fold, against tighter players I’d pot-raise.

Thanks good explanation. Although I wouldn't term the hand weak HU, it isn't too bad although definetly I would not want to play it multiway.
