Passive AT

[smizmiatch]

You guys are going to hate this one.
The line I was taking was to play my weak kicker cautiously and look to bet out the river. But the river was scary and I just called down.
BB is semiloose-passive. UTG+2 is loose-passive.
Bring it!

I don't like the flop check at all.

1. Raise preflop. You kinda want the BB to fold, plus it sets you up as the aggressor and makes it easier to play, IMO.

2. Bet out the flop after raising preflop. At the least, c/r the flop after you didnt raise pf or bet out flop.

I think it's close, but I think a call is okay because he's going to be out of position against 2-3 players the whole hand. AJo is easy raise, as is ATs.

if you C/R this flop, then you hopefully won't have to worry about BB. But you did nothing here to protect your hand against BB. Plus, you might be way ahead in this hand. Just because the Late position guy bets does not mean he has an ace.

With no one showing strength PF, your kicker isn't that weak. Most players raise AJ or better PF. I would bet out on that flop because it might get checked through, and that just sucks.

I wouldn't raise PF though. It's probably borderline.

I call pre-flop and the either bet out or c/r. Then bet the turn.

AT is purdy easy, too.

[lu_hawk]

checkraise the flop. fold the river.

why would you think your kicker is weak? i'd bet out on all streets.
