I don't know. Button is tight. Sure, I have a pair and the A. But depending on how I feel, I bet I fold this about 25% of the time.

I mean, I put button squarely on AK here most of the time.

If I was the unknown in this hand I would fold pre-flop at 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6.

edit: Oops, misread the question.

"I" would probably c/c because "I" have a pair.

I think he's calling pretty much always.

What Miles is asking (I think) is how much an unknown will fold here. Not what we would do.

If we sucked at poker, how bad would we suck?

This is sort of a strange hypothetical. Maybe a useful thought exercise, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to get at it.

I guess this is the sort of thinking we need to do if we are the button with AJ and we are trying to decide whether to bet the turn?

obviously this is not some all-encompassing exercise that will allow us to play perfectly on the turn. it's not like a typical unknown needs a pair to call on the flop anyway. it's a hypothetical, and i'm curious how often we think the typical unknown player (who in this case will limp UTG with A7o and check call this flop) will check and fold to a bet on this turn.

it's something we can't even know - we only see when they call.

From the OP - "Button is playing the role of one of us"

If I was button, my hand range here is huge, and includes a lot of hands that A7o is currently beating.

Also, in the excercise, we are assuming we are a typical unknown who would limp A7o UTG. These players do not know what a bet-fold is. They know what a check-call is, which coincidentally would happen to be pretty close to correct against a player like me on the turn.

He'll call often, because he limped A7o, then called the flop.

He wants to spike his A7 and lose to our AK where he'll donk bet as he hasnt established the "Check raise" line yet.
