Would it be better to fold the flop? Of course the answer is Yes after seing the cards...but is a bad play, as calling is out of question and i though that someone having AK, AQ, AA, KK even AT had likely raised preflop...

Ty all for your answers

I think the better play is to bet out on the flop with a field of 5 players. If you get raised and reraised it's easier to fold your AJ. The flop was A106 rainbow so there was no flush draws or outside straight draws so the only reason he raises the flop is if he has a strong hand. This player on the button doesn't seem like a maniac since he only called you on the turn with a set (the only thing that could beat him was a higher set) so you probably could have gotten a read on him earlier.

I agree -- I'd bet the flop, then if CO raises and button reraises, you can drop the hand.

I am not able to fold top pair good kicker on a two-flush flop when it's two back to me. I don't know if this is a leak. I don't think it is. Consider the CO will raise with any ace and often with other pairs, and the button will 3-bet a lot of aces and many flush draws, as well as stuff that owns you like two pair and sets.

I am in total agreement about betting this flop, though. B/c there wasn't a PFR you can't be sure anyone will bet in the first place. I donk this turn unless it's capped on the flop, that was if it's two back to me on the turn I can safely fold.

the flop wasnt rainbow but i can see that it was a bet/fold situation i decided to go on raising to make draws pay...

Raise preflop ?!

I would raise PF and bet out the flop.

Raising Preflop isn't really that hot...

No? 1/2$, 3 limpers. I would say we have a pretty big edge with a hand thats very easy to play postflop even oop.
