bet river, the two didnt change anything

Played good if you bet the river. MP1's turn call shows that he didn't like the ace, looks like he's got a big pocket pair. The BB probably liked the A, but you beat him most of the time.

The way it played out, river is an easy bet. But I think the most crucial point in this hand is the turn. We improved in the worst possible way here, as BB's lead could be slowplayed trips, 2 diamonds, 1 stupid diamond, or a losing ace. I think MP1 is usually pretty far behind at this point anyways (unless he has a K/Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]), so I don't mind him calling behind us. I'd hate being 3-bet since we'd need to call on FH outs. So I'd be happier calling on the turn and reevauluating on the river.

Hi pocketset. Welcome to the forum.

MP1's flop raise suggests that the A didn't help him. Bad luck if he's on diamonds. BB waking up when the A of flush hits isn't super news for us. I just call since we're not that confident that we have the best hand, BB isn't folding trips, MP1 will often be putting chips in incorrectly when he calls.

the river is an easy value bet given the action on the turn

the turn is confusing, but i think you played it correctly.

Besides being loose on the original call preflop I think you played it well.

The reason you should not play A9s UTG,+1 or +2 is you really do not want to be raised with a dominated hand like that.

IF you want to play A9s at least raise in. If you question raising in qith A9s then . . . .should you be even playing it?

A9s is an easy limp at most tables.

i think the average looseness at this level justifies Axs from any position.... just imo

Why, I am a bit confused! What are you trying to hit, If an Ace hits, then your kicker is in doubt, if the 9 hits (usually) there are overcards out there, so again you have problems. Only safe cards for you is to flop your flush or 4 to the flush. Are we saying that at this level, we will get paid off, if the flush is out there?

I would have been tempted to fold this PF, in early position,I think that overall the limp is marginal, and at worst a long term loser. Reads dependant of course...
