MLH turn raise hand AK

This one kind of bothered me. I know alot of examples in this section play different depending on who's the aggressor.

EP limps, you raise in MP with AKo, 2 mps call.
4 to the flop

Flop: 9 7 3 r

Checked to you, you bet, only 1 MP calls.

Turn: A making a flush draw possible

You bet and get raised.

They say to fold. If this were a guy what would't raise with a lesser A, I agree. However, in todays game, many would raise with a turned A. If I had a lesser A, like AT or maybe AJ, I can maybe see an easier laydown.

Thoughts?

I too would probably fold in a late 90's mid-limit B+M game.

Hi Bernie,

Of the 10 or so players I have met in my life that I would fold to in this situation, 4 are dead, 3 aren't far behind, and the rest need help going to the bathroom.

I would fold if the right player was raising me. I just think these days, it's more likely someone just spiked an A. True, it could be hitting their kicker with 2 pair. Someone waking up with a set kind of stands out as they likely wouldn't raise with less than AK or 2 pair here.

I think it's very player dependent. Also, if it were multiway and not HU, I could see laying it down a little easier.
