weird hand

[albanat0r]

I disagree. Getting 5/1 odds with an ace preflop warrants a call, unless you can say with absolute certainty that BB has a big pair or big ace.

The flop you played fine.

The turn you should have reraised if you put BB on an ace. The pot is already decent enough to protect, and you gotta make him draw if he wants to hit his kicker, which he probably will at these limits with a high ace. As it turns out that wasn't the case, but that's what any thinking player would have him on. You also can't put UTG on a set enough to not put in another raise with top 2- I would have him on the same or lower two pair, a monster draw, or depending on how weak he plays preflop a big ace. You simply can't slow down on the turn with this many draws on the board when you are most likely ahead.

The river checkraise was great because you had intended on calling down the UTG bet, but after things played out differently you made a great read.

Under no circumstances would I have considered folding at any point in this hand.

The guy raises 1% of his hands. We're drawing to three outs at best out of position in a bad implied odds situation.

You're right Nate, didn't see the 1% part.

With this hand you have a lot of reverse implied odds to go with your hand. Flop comes 7 high as it did you may be up against an overpair. Flop comes A high you may be up against a bigger A. It will not be easy to get away from either of these situations and therefore I think this would be a tough hand to play out of position against a PF raiser. I think this makes it a fold.
