stuck AA in the middle
The table is relatively loose. More than 4 people in each flop generally. But here's the weird part and the P/A part. Every now and then it'll fold to the blinds, and every now and then people will raise and raise w/ 5 people in the pot. In other words more or less of an either really passive all the way around or really aggressive all the way around w/ no rhyme or reason to that I could figure out. No specific reads on players, relatively new to the table, and I just couldn't figure out how these guys were playing.
The reason I played aggressively on the flop was the pf raise and BB fold which had me thinking no one had a part of the flop. If I were to continue this logic I guess I should have played the rest of the hand aggressively, but I was stuck in the middle and thought re-raise would be spewing chips, but I wasn't willing to lay it down. ??? How would you have played it? What would you put these card weilding mOOnkeys on?

Re: stuck AA in the middle
my line would be fold to the two bets on the turn, putting UTG on a set or straight, and then cry when it turns out I was up against KK and QQ.
Then I'll cap every street the next few hands no matter which two I have. |

Re: stuck AA in the middle
A set I can see, but a straight?
Even these fish will rarely play 46 even sOOted UTG... What do you put UTG on for the straight? |

I suppose it depends on your read on UTG, but I definitely have seen some play 46 s00ted. But you're right, it's very unlikely. |

Re: stuck AA in the middle
I would have led this turn. If its raised behind me I'll go into call down mode. If it comes back 2 BB to me I think its safe to say you're up against a set, and you can fold it up then.
I'd probably put MP3 on QQ/KK, and UTG on 77, 55, 33. Seems odd that MP3 wouldn't cap preflop, but is going gonzo with nothing but an overpair here. |

Re: stuck AA in the middle
I'm not sure what they had... but what was the reasoning for the turn check after the flop cap? I lead that turn and slow down after a raise.

Re: stuck AA in the middle
i agree with a turn bet, but what do you do when it comes back to you facing 2 bets?
you have to believe a set at that point...? |

Re: stuck AA in the middle
Looking back on it. I see the point about leading out on the turn.
My reasoning at the time was that I did not want to fold this hand. I felt that if I led the turn it would come back to me 2BB, and then I would be inclined to fold. I checked to see what would happen... not really the best poker, looking back on it now... ESPECIALLY, since I CALLED after it came back to me 2BB after CHECKING..... YES ty all who suggested leading out on the turn... |
