Default A Hand from the 2+2 Table that I don\'t think I played very well

This might be interesting. I just sat down, but you know the usual suspects.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP (Sightless) 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB (TheMainEvent) caps</font>, Hero calls, MP (Sightless) calls.

Flop: (12.50 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">TheMainEvent bets</font>.

What's the plan, guys?

check raise flop and lead turn.

Edit: OK, that's impossible. I'd call the flop and raise the turn.

Let's move the discussion toward Wook's question of hand ranges....the way I see it, MP 3-bets with AA thru TT, AKs or AKo. Depending on his aggressiveness and his respect of your raises, maybe AQs?

To me BB's cap has got to signal AA, KK, AKs, maybe QQ.

Now I'll go think about the ramifications of that while you guys agree/disagree with my range of hands.

Your range is too tight, methinks. This is a serious table, but everyone is playing very aggressively.

If we're not folding, this is how I see it:

Just calling will allow MP to raise with a larger range of hands. I can see him testing BB with his KK, QQ, AQ-AJ, or even less.

However, if we raise here, we can freeze up any tricky stuff from MP and face him with two bets, against the original preflop raiser and the capper. He certainly could only reraise a monster in this instance. If he did I think we fold.

For BB to cap and lead out the flop takes a certain confidence, so our raise not only forces MP to expose his strength, but tests BB as well, while it's still cheap to do so. Without a big ace I don't see how he can 3-bet us given the action.

Overall, I think we can't fold if we might have the best hand here, and our only way of gaining insight to that is to raise for information. Any thoughts?

Party, very serious. Check bottomset's post.

Edit: Although JaxUp is being ferocious lag, but a thinking one.

If this is a serious table, I really think your only option here is to play WA/WB and just call-down. If they really get in a war, I may be able to pitch it on the turn.

Just call down? Wuss.

Raise to protect your hand. If you get 3-bet, then you can call down unless you improve.

To protect from what? Give me a hand-range of these guys and tell me what I should be raising to protect from here.
