NL25 - AT, Ace on the Flop, King on the Turn - Am I priced in?

[Ontario_Tory]

Villain is a very loose-passive player. Quite fishy, from what I saw... 41/4/1.5 for our session

I have top pair, kindacrappy kicker.

1) How's my line up to the turn?
2) King on the turn - can I fold this? Should I fold this? I'm getting ~4:1 on the last $5...

Many thanks,

OT

If he is so passive that this is ALWAYS a better hand than yours, you can fold. Sounds like he is loose enough to call with Ax, but would just call down with less than TPGK

FWIW, i would likely not have lead the flop for more than a PSB. Why did you do that?

[mrw8419]

Lead flop for 1.5-1.75

Check turn he is not often calling with a worse ace on the turn. If he checks turn behind value bet river.

This is a reluctant call for me preflop.

I pretty much never overbet early streets so this seems a bit heavy to me on a dry flop. You could lead or check-call.

After this player calls it's an interesting choice whether to bet again or check since his aggression is low and he never raises. his range is A2-AQ basically. I count 4 hands you are behind to, vs 6 you are ahead of. Obviously there's lots of other hands he could have, but Ax is a huge part of his range. It's probably worth a bet vs this opp as you are unlikely to a)be raised off it, b) get value from calling bluffs.

Then he raises. oh dear. but I doubt AK is really in his range so I have to call.

FYP. But yes you should probably discount A2 and maybe A3 as a hand he will call with to give the benefit of the doubt.

agree with v-betting river if turn is checked through. it's quite a nice line, but it also turns your hand face up. I actually think betting the turn gets more value from bad aces, but I could be wrong.

Hi Tory,

Welcome to uNL (hope you'll host an mtt challenge or two for us..)

1. 3-bet preflop or fold. Really. I honestly think calling
is your worst option.

2. Don't overbet the flop. I'd lead 3/4 and shut down to resistance.

3. Turn raise here means you are beat - don't try and catch a bluff when you are so vulnerable and OOP. Find a better spot.

Spamming this thread now, oh well.

Really??? I hate building the pot OOP with a really terrible RIO hand. I just doubt you have much fold equity because it's raised (people defend their raises IP) and multiway. I'll call because of the good pot odds, but I could see a fold here more than an RR.

OOP doesn't matter, it's all in I believe.

[Machavelli]

fold pre-flop.

As played I check/call flop. If villain double barrells I probably fold. ATo is not a good hand for OOP play.

I have started to treat minraise-call as limped pots. I know some half-wit villains will have AA/KK when they minraise but that's a small precentage of the time.

I prefer re-raising here to eliminate one if not both opponents preflop. Then c-bet any flop. They will have to be retarded to continue with anything but a set or an overpair ( option 2 in this case obv impossible).

Call here and you will check/fold a vast majority of the time when you whiff. And even if you hit you will have trouble - like right here.

But yeah to stear totally clear of danger a patent nit play is to fold pf here.

edit: I just noticed this is a FR hand. We mainly deal with 6-max here. I think there is a full ring forum where advice might be more applicable.
