Default Black Aces on the Button- What is the flop play?

Live 8-16. CP Minnesota.

UTG raises. UTG+1 calls , folds to me and I three bet black aces. Blinds fold. Both others call.

UTG is a loose caller preflop (damn near any two suited, any two gaps of better, any pair) but doesn't raise lightly, especially UTG (I am putting him on a Broadway Ace, if it's less than AQ its suited and pocket pairs of 99-AA), UTG is usually pretty tight but is slightly tilting and doesn't respect UTG's play at all (I put him on any pair, any suited connectors or any suited broadway or any Big Ace.)


Flop comes K-10-9 of diamonds. UTG bets UTG+1 raises. What is the play with black aces?

Really? Ok, so we don't have the Ace of diamond, but is the answer this easy?

Victor,

Just curious but what is a faviorable turn card? One of the reasons I had a question about this hand is that I didn't know what a good turn card was.

how bout the offsuit ace [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]?

really, tho any offsuit card other than q, or j are pretty good. a k is somewhat bad and an 8 is kinda bad. a 10 or 9 may be good or bad. i would be screaming for a black duece in my head.

Surprised by all the fold responses. Not time to give up on aces yet. Victor's line is good.

not time to give up on them? could there be a worse flop for aces than that? and you have to deal with two more cards to make things even worse. the best situation you can have here is maybe AK.. and that leaves you drawing to 1 ace because chances are your one pair wont be good

certainly not, you are ahead way too often here in this large pot to fold.

yes, many times worse.

our equity is still high enough to stay and its easy to get away if another heart comes.

please, do you really think that the worst hands these guys can have here is ak? it may be the most likely hand (certainly more likely than a set or flush) and we are way ahead of it. opponents can have any combo of a pair and a decent flush card tho and it makes sense that they would try to push you out.

this is just wrong. one pair will hold up here plenty. get pokerstove, run some quick sims and see what you come up with.
