I hate it. The pot is the size of your stack... I probably push the turn or c/r all in. Of course the ace sucks... but I hate folding when the pot is the size of your stack or bigger.

Meh, lead the turn.

I don't like the turn check. You are the aggressor in this hand with your preflop raise, so you are representing a strong hand. When the guy calls your flop bet, he could be on a straight draw or have some kind of pair (or overcards if he sucks), which makes the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the turn a scare card... I'd bet the turn for about $15 and expect to take it down.

If he calls my turn bet, then I check-call a reasonable bet on the river. I'd probably fold to half pot or more. As played, his turn bet screams weakness, and I think you should call it.

Any reads on this guy?

Well I didn't see the stack sizes! His whole stack is going in on this hand, so might as well do it on the turn [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Arg. It seems everyone on Party plays Ace anything..is this REALLy the smart thing to do? I suppose since I'm pot-committed you guys are right..but is pot-commttment the only reason that's forcing me to c/r all in here?

Ewwwwww

Don't check-raise, man. Bet the turn and put him all-in.

Put the impetus on the other guy to make a killer hand
