Aces > Lowish Flop > Action
$10 bet on the flop was to entice MP2 to jam with lesser overpair. Didn't really like SB calling. What's Hero's move?

What makes you think that MP2 has a lower overpair?

It actually wasn't a hope for a lower PP, I really thought he'd jam with anything because he sucked. He could have set, but I'm not folding to his bet either way. Might aswell try and induce a bluff as opposed to chasing him out with AK or something garbage-like. Shoddy thinking.

Re: Aces > Lowish Flop > Action
Next question: Do you have any read on SB? Is he a chaser, as in, would he call this bet and raise with a bare T, or does he likely have 2 pair, a set or possibly the made straight?

As usual, no reads. First orbit. Typical $100 NL player until proven otherwise. Obviously I'm not folding, but on a board like this and only $25 left in SBs stack, should I be trying to get it in here?

Re: Aces > Lowish Flop > Action
See, the problem with this board is that although it's low, it's coordinated as coordinated can be, so if you're up against a player who likes to play SCs from any position, you can easily be up against 78, 89, 97 if he's on the loose side as many players on Stars are. With the all-in raise and SB's call of a huge bet, I really don't like putting too much more money in the pot, but of course, you're ahead of a lot of hands that that SB or MP2 could be holding and SB's stack isn't really deep enough for you to be making a really difficult decision.
I really hate playing aces 3-way because you get into these situations and just really don't get much of an idea of where you stand. That other guy's idea of folding might not have been bad, since I have difficulty believing that you're beating 2 players on this board, but given the size of the pot and the fact that SB could be calling with a bare T (maybe even a bare 6 if he's really bad), I think you should probably just reraise the SB all-in, since you're likely ahead of him, and get some dead money in there to recoup some of your loss if MP2 outdrew you. Man, I'm almost at a loss now, but I think that your best bet here is to just go ahead and put SB all-in because the pot's big, you're likely ahead of him and there are a decent number of turn cards that you're not going to want to see. Also, it does look like MP2 has a PP that he thinks is good. I have trouble believing that he calls off 1/6th of his stack with SCs, so his most likely holding is a PP that he was planning on pushing on any flop, so if he got lucky and spiked a set on you, you've really gotta pay it off. |
