Play along A9s 3/6 6-max

[toss]

I think I'm gonna go with call here. If we raise Button will either 3-bet and blow everyone out or fold. If we call Button may raise and we can 3-bet to get more bets into the pot with our TP + Flush draw.

Meh...it's 6max. They're probably not folding anything for 2 more bets that they'd call 1 more with. And they probably aren't folding anything for 1 more.

I could probably make a damn good argument for just calling on this flop (and I love to call) but I still raise here since we have too much equity to pass up a sure thing.

If we knew Button was aggressive I might advocate some fancy play & smooth call BB's bet, hoping to 3-bet a raise by the Button. But since we don't know his aggression level & can't count on a raise if he has a big ace, let alone if he doesn't, I go ahead and get the raise in now.

See, this is what I was thinking. However....

A call/3-bet would be so sweet....

This hand is easy so far.

It is an easy hand, but there are 2 decisions that I think are somewhat close.

Are you talking about raising the flop here?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I'm talking about raising the flop. You've got the best hand far too often and I don't think Button is slowing down if you raise and he has AK/AQ (he'll 3-bet usually), so this gives you a great chance of getting it capped with everyone tied the pot.

If this were live play and you could look to your left and see Button counting out the chips for a raise, well, I think you could go for a call-3bet. But I like the easy approach here.

What do you think our equity is? I'd estimate 45-50%?

[SomethingClever]

Ok, sounding like people like raising the flop. I think that's probably the best. With a better read, I like calling and 3-betting... but I didn't know if he'd be aggressive enough to raise when donked. Next decision.

Yeah at least. I would figure about 50% in this spot.

Raise. You're going to get a chance to reraise when BB has a flush and 3-bets you (JsTs-ish), and he won't drop when he holds a lone [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] very often. He'll also rarely fold an Ace.
