Anything but folding can be justified here. When in doubt I'd be inclined to just call.

mmmm For the extra bet, you might as well cap it.

Howd it turn out?

Strange. They can't both have an ace, so I guess maybe someone slowplayed 33 or 54 on the turn, or maybe has been slowplaying from the flop on? Only A3 and A6 can beat you, and a cap only costs you one additional bet (over calling) and could potentially win you an extra two. I say go ahead.

Edit: Something else to consider is that if UTG has A6 or A3, he's going to cap it anyway, in all likelihood. But he might not, with just trip aces or a straight. So just calling really only saves you money when Button has A6 or A3 and UTG gets scared by the 3-bet.

Very good point. That had not occurred to me. Something that did though, wouldn't A6 or A3 have found a raise somewhere before now?

Any hand that can raise or three bet that river should have found a raise before now. I cap.

It's possible one of your opponents was trapping, but I think usually you will get raised by A6 or A3 on the turn if not on the flop.

Anyway, though, I do think your hand is going to be good here on the river more often than not. Since you haven't faced any resistance up until the river, all your opponents really know is that you've been leading each street. I doubt they have you on anything better than trip aces, and they may suspect you have even less than that.

Unfortunately, I did not come to that realization until my post-hand review. I called, results:

Hero calls, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 16 BB

Hero has 2h Ac (full house, aces full of twos).
UTG has 6c 6h (full house, sixes full of aces).
Button has 5s Ad (three of a kind, aces).
Outcome: Hero wins 16 BB.
