Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6647935, member: 289533"] I wouldn’t be calling A8o or, better saying, A2o-A9o versus UTG+1 (you are playing a Full-Ring table), unless I have a very specific reading. Against regulars never, against loose passive never and against loose aggressive I would be 3-betting preflop 100% of times, never calling. As played let me just say that preflop was fine, for we have no information about villain. On the flop I’m not sure about the eight suit, but as long as we have called, we cannot simply raise here, for villain has all the combos of 88, AA, AK, KK and QQ, and we have only a few combos of 88 and none of the best combos, for if we were holding these combos we would 3-bet preflop, not call preflop (3-bet more often than calling). You meant to say that you checked and villain had bet, not raised, right? Yes, I think that under this circumstance of having no information about villain is okay to be calling: Versus regulars, Tight aggressive and tight passive players we are almost never ahead when we check raise this flop, for the range advantage these types of players will have upon us, because we’ve choose not to 3-bet preflop, so it’s kind obvious that we don’t own pretty good hands. Versus loose passive and loose aggressive if we do elect to raise on the flop their range will be weak and they will fold more than calling with a dominated ace or whatever. The question is: what is the point of calling out of position holding weak aces? (Rethorical question) The good part of the hand is that you call all the three streets (flop, turn and river), because your hand was to good to fold once you smash the flop, but are not flying around the world having the cold stoned Nuts. So, it is what it is. I think you shouldn’t raise this hand anytime. The hand was well played postflop, if I can advise you on something: avoid calling out of position with weak aces: either you 3-bet/4-bet or you fold. And when you elect to play weak aces, try to play suited aces with more equity, e.g: A2s-A5s and ATs-AKs. P.S: you shouldn’t bet flop or turn “to see” if villain had a better or a worst hand. We do not bet for information, ever, by no means. We bet for value when we do think our hand could get paid for dominated hands and we bet for bluff, when we do think our hand isn’t good but can make better hands to fold. These are the only reasons we put blinds on the pot. About hand description I would like to summon some mates here in the forum that would love to help you with that. I’m quite sure that either [USER=193663]@Tracid[/USER] or [USER=480130]@Chica_bonita[/USER] can help you with that much better than me! Best regards; [/QUOTE]
