Sticky situation with aces
BB in this hand is a total donk of the 70/5 variety. I took a different line on the postflop play here, as this seemed like a classic way in front/way behind situation. Anyone throw in a raise on the flop or turn? How about the river bet?

Re: Sticky situation with aces
I actually like calling the flop and turn. You will win more money whether you're ahead or behind with the dead money coming in to the pot from the three callers behind you. If you raise you will most likely cause them to fold, and you don't want that. You will also lose more when behind.

Re: Sticky situation with aces
The pot is too big to be worrying about way ahead or way behind. You need to protect your hand w/a raise on the flop or turn. I think I'd rather be raising the turn here as a flop call can give you a lot of info about UTG and MP1s hand. Once they indicate a lack of strenth on the flop, blow em out on the turn.
