Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6697384, member: 305911"] Pre: I dont like defending from the BB with small aces since if an ace flops I am in no mans land so to speak because I could be outkicked with opponents holdings most popularly being Ax. However, in this case where we are a little shorter stacked and it is only a min open I would in game defend here and believe it is the correct play. Flop: Clearly a check to us the first time action on us and then from there it is villian dependent in my opinion at least somewhat but mostly I would just be calling behind here. They do get to see a relatively free turn if they have a flush draw but the flush draw on the board already includes the ace so that cuts down on their possibility of a flush draw a little so I would call here and hope villain continues betting. Turn: This spot is interesting since I would be thinking that if villain has an ace that they would want to be playing for stacks here and betting this small on the turn would create a massive overbet on the river so I discount they would have an ace (at this point in the hand through this action) so I think we can actually go either way here by either calling this and then donk leading river (especially when spades miss since we can rep that we were on a missed draw and be bluffing, although not sure this board is the best for bluffing) or just check raise turn here. The problem I see check raise turn is that what worse is going to call us? 10x shouldnt be nor 7x or even QQ hands so when we check raise here we always have Ax and villain knows it. I dont like the sizing you use to check raise here since it is 70% ish of your stack and if villain is going to call 1380 there then they would also call an all in of 1952. We cant go so small, like 720, that villain would have the correct odds for a flush draw so it seems like 960 would be the smallest I would go but that is half your stack. Therefore, if you are going to check raise here it should be a jam based on the amount the raise would be of your remaining stack if you were not to jam. As played when we get re raised we are beat almost almost always but you have almost all your chips in already so I think you are way past committed in this hand and just have to click the call button.
