AT, pair A... heavy flop action

[ QUOTE ]
Normally I'd even raise ATo, but lately I've noticed that even at the .5/1 tables I'm getting 3bet more often with this many people left to act behind me. I'm definitely seeing this flop, but when I do get 3bet it makes me very unhappy.

This is the reason I would drop it instead of limping.

Ugh, this flop action sucks. I can't say I'd know what to do at the table either. I think I'm calling the flop and hoping I get something really good on the turn (e.g. something red, either an A or a T).

But, really, no openlimping w/ATs.

In one Ed Miller article on another website (those quizzes if someone has the links), he gives reasoning for how limping ATs after a bunch of limpers is a bigger mistake than limping 72o UTG, and I agree. You have a hand that plays well multiway AND short. Raise preflop, dude.

Why did you just call? I want to bloat this pot and give everyone odds to call, including the guys who logged out an hour ago and have no cards.

FYP

(I've been in an FYP mood all night. Call and plan on raising the turn here.)
