Default AK, ugly.

This is from memory so I don't have exact stats, but I do remember that villians in this hand are bad. Not maniacs, but the general sort of too-loose/stupid-postflop players that you look for on the party mid-limits.

10-handed, 2 EP limpers, 1 MP limper, Button limps, SB completes. I raise in the BB with AdKd. All call.

Flop AhQsJs.

SB checks, I bet, first limper raises, 2nd limper makes it 3 bets. Folded back to me, what's my plan for the hand?

lay it down right there. You are probably up against 2 pair and a flush draw.

That's what I did, but at the time I felt like maybe I was giving something away. I'm getting 9:1 immediate odds to call the 2 bets back to me, which becomes something like 6.3:1 the times it goes for a cap. There are a number of turn cards that I might like (non-spade kings or tens), but they all have problems.

Ummmm you are in now way "probably" up against 2 pair and a flush draw. You will be up against Ax and a flush draw more often than that, and when you fold here you make a doosh out of yourself.

I would call the flop, planning to bet a blank turn and check a scary one to see the action. If you are greeted by ridiculous wild monkey aggression at that point, NOW you can consider folding.

I think your plan is to call the flop hoping to improve, taking the turn as it comes. There are lots of combinations of turn cards and turn action.

good luck.
