Well, once I was in the hand...

Royal Vegas, stakes are .25/50.

Table started off nice and loose, has tightened up considerably and I'm thinking this is my last orbit. I haven't seen the pre-flop raiser do anything too out of line, he's been in a few pots here and there, and knows both how to fold and how to raise. He hasn't shown a lot down. This is actually supposed to be 9-handed at a 10 table, but we have 1 sitting out and 2 between SB and me that declined to post blinds this orbit. So we are six.

On to the hand:

Hero is in the big blind. Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

1 fold, UTG+1 raises, 3 folds, Hero calls.

Okay call against an EP raiser? Figured I was HU and being offered 3.5:1 immediate. Also thought I had a semi-decent chance of pushing him off a middle card flop.

Flop comes: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero checks, Opponent bets, Hero calls.

So I hit the flop, and now have pair of aces with lousy kicker. Thought I'd try WA/WB for the first time ever. Good? Bad? Indifferent? FPS?

Hero bets, Opponent thinks....and calls.
