Default Play a Foxwoods hand with me

Blinds are 100-200. Hero is in the SB with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and a 15k stack.

UTG (plays weird), limps, and 4 more players limp. I call and the BB checks.


Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Your move? and plan?

Please don't just post I check or I bet $x, post your action and all the posibilities (well, at least some) in the flop depending on your action.

For example, if you say check, what are you doing if somebody bets?
If you say bet, what are you doing if somebody raises?


After some responses and discussion, I'm posting the action in the flop and the turn card.

I'm checking the flop with the intention of calling a bet, unless the bet is called in front of me, then i will check raise as its almost like a squeeze play. If there is a bet and raise I will fold. If my raise is called im shutting down on the turn. If I check called my action on the turn will depend heavily on what the turn card is.

I'm betting and folding to a raise.

Unless this flop hit someone REAL good, you are usually ahead. I would think AA,AK, and AQ would raise preflop. There are many players and we don't want to give free cards. Also, we are getting called by many hands that we beat, like JT, A7 or maybe even K9.

However, many limping hand COULD have hit this flop. That's why I seriously consider folding to a raise without a good read to the contrary. Generally, nothing we are ahead of is raising.

night: How much are you betting?

MLG: Do you call any bet? or what is the maximum bet by a single player you call?

Ok, I decided to check and see the action, with the intention of calling a bet. UTG bet 1k and folded to you. I decided to call and BB folded. Now heads up to the turn, pot is about 3.4k and UTG started the hand with about 10k.

Turn card is K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Now, what is the plan?

I'm checking again, with the intention of calling anything up to 2/3-3/4 the size of the pot. I dont want to bet and be raised off my draw, plus if i check call there's still a chance he's bluffing.

What does play weird mean?

Does it mean you don't have a read on what he does or does it mean that your read is he doesn't know what he is doing?

David,

I think I bet out about 2/3 the pot, and fold to a reraise. Especially if UTG reraises me. If someone calls, then lets see what happens.

I'd check the turn here with the intention of calling a reasonably sized bet. I'm not quite sure I've got the best hand. It's possible, and I certainly have a good draw. I think check-calling both the flop and turn *could* be representing a set or two pair so unless the villain has AA, KK, AK he's probably at least somewhat concerned he's behind. I don't like leading out the turn here because I want to keep the pot as small as possible and not face a raise.
