AJs, big draw, shortie pushes

[2planka]

1/2 NL home game. I've been there for about 40 minutes.

Stacks/reads:
Hero ~ $150 (won a big pot with a set of 5's, haven't had much to play otherwise)

BB - $63 (sees approximately 150% of all flops, says he's stuck $200, visibly steaming).

UTG ~ $220 (loose/passive. Has picked off BB with call downs three times since I've been there)

Hero is CO with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG limps, 2 folds, Hero raises to $6, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG calls. ($19)

Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Checked to Hero. Hero bets $12. BB calls, UTG calls. ($55)

Turn: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
BB bets $45 all-in. UTG folds. Hero...?


I play a lot more limit than NL, so I'd appreciate comments on all streets.

Based on your read I call and hope I spike one of my 18 outs.

my continuation bet would be closer to a pot bet. on rare occassions i might go ahead and check the flop since i have position and have a lot of cards that can improve me on the turn.

i'd call. you have probably 15, maybe 18 outs.

Good on the deal - AJs is a decent holding. 3bb is pretty standard raise. Some people like 4, but really, anything between 3 and 5 is ok.

The flop is good. You hit a massive drawing hand. The $12 is about the size of a good continuation bet.

The turn is dangerous. The BB is in a good position since he could have anything. Best guess from what I have is maybe K9 since he seemed to really like the K. that being said, if thats his hand, you still have 15 outs on a 2.2:1 odd bet. You have to call that. 4Flush and OESD is a good bet.

pre-flop and flop seem fine. You have a ton of outs to the nuts, but only one card to come. I'd probably call there as well.

raise more preflop...a pot sized raise makes it $9 to go

pot the flop

i'd call the turn

EDIT: hey look, i already responded to this post two weeks ago [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] at least my advice is consistent
