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

There are just SOOO many hands that UTG+1 can have that you're badly behind here. Also, if UTG+1 was the type of player to make a raise on this flop to try and shut you out as a preflop 3-bettor I think he'd have been making some other plays that would make you take notice sitting in the 8-16 game at CP. I fold.

Such as . . . ? I'm honestly not coming up with many likely candidates given the preflop action. Keep in mind that he doesn't respect UTG but only cold-called rather than 3-bet to isolate, so I would tend to discount AQ[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], AJ[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and TT; clearly KK would have 3-bet. So what's left that has you beat? QJo would have mucked, so all I can come up with is QJs (possible) and 99.

I think UTG+1 calls with any suited hand that makes 2 pair, QJs for sure, TT, 99, AJs [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], possibly some other suited aces. He'd raise KK and probably AK [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and AQ [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] but I don't think coldcalling is out of question here given the description and setting. Just because he doesn't respect UTG doesn't necessarily mean he's smart enough and aggressive enough to isolate w/o a monster. I also can't discount QJo and KTo as being out of the realm of possibility. Tight is a relative term in this game.
