Hand #1
Preflop: Hero is Button with As, Kh.
UTG=LPP calls, Hero raises, BB=LAP calls, UTG=LPP calls.
Flop: (6.50 SB) 2s, 5d, 9s (3 players)
BB=LAP checks, UTG bets, Hero ????

Ok I went back and reread pages 230-232. And to me it indicates that the proper play appears to be a fold because the opponent that bet is a loose passive - passive.

I'm certainly open for further discussion about the hand.

but just because he's LPP doesn't mean he has a set/two-pair.

take one off.

Well it's just about ok pot odds if you assume your aces and kings are outs. It's hard to put UTG on a better hand than yours (99/KK/AA only?) so if you do hit you might easily make up the difference (eg if you hit an ace and he has AJ or 77 or A8s or whatever).

Why not raise the flop and take one more off on the turn for the same price?
