Default This is too weak, right?

Party $5-$10 6-max

UTG is passive, flop AF < 1.0 in ~50 hands
MP seems like a rock, but not a good read
BB is agressive

Holding K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the button

UTG limps. MP limps. I raise, BB calls, UTG and MP calls

flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

UTG bets, MP calls, I fold(?)

Why is it weak to fold when you are probably way behind? That's strong!

Ugh. I pretty much folded KK under the same circumstances yesterday. It feels terrible but if your image is good and UTG & MP are reasonable, then I don't see the point of calling it down (especially with one other person behind) just to see A5o.

You could think about just flat calling though. UTG has to worry about a slowplay then and may check turn, in which case I wouldn't mind showing it down for one more BB. But if he's the type to bet A5o all the way and never fold it even if he thinks he's outkicked, then I don't think it's worth it in a 4-way hand. (Headsup, I'd be showing down almost every time.)

Sometimes I feel like you are the crotchety old grandpa of HUSH--keeping all us kiddies in line and bemoaning the rise of LAG play.

P.S. You're spot on w/ regard to this hand.

HU I might show it down even against one of these two.

3way, good fold.

Yep, good fold. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see something like A4o UTG. Tough to remember sometimes that there are players out there that don't raise with aces preflop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Bastards.
