Drawy board out of position, turn is gross - what to do?
 

UTG plays tons of hands and acts kind of like a maniac. Button is a retard who plays pretty much every hand, usually limping in. BB plays a lot of BB for a raise. My AJo almost certainly has a pot equity edge here.

Flop sucks, but I pretty much have to bet. Hate so many callers. Turn card is awful, so what do I do? Bet/fold? Check and see what happens, giving myself the option to fold?

Bet/Fold is best here I think.... there is still a decent chance you are ahead, especially against a couple of loose players.

Bet and reevaluate the action.

No one raised or 3-bet preflop so AK is not an issue. The board is drawy so plenty of worse hands will call. If it gets raised and its 1 bet bet back to you HU or maybe even 3-way you should consider calling with your gutshot and (tainted) trips/aces up outs.

yeah bet and if it gets raised make your dec based on the odds youre getting

Bet, do not give a free card here.

If it gets raised you have odds to call imo. If it's 3bet you probably have to fold.

In a case where BB is always calling PF and UTG is ofetn betting postflop I will just complete in the SB and plan on C/R many a flop. Even better if button is the aggressive one.

i don't think there is much chance of a free card here if hero checks with three to act.

Re: Drawy board out of position, turn is gross - what to do?
 

check to raise if button bets (or UTG bets and button folds) may not be a bad play

Lets say hero bets, bb calls, and utg raises, bt folds, hero calls, bb calls...

I'm assuming regardless of what falls on river we are check-calling if it's one bet to us right?

Re: Drawy board out of position, turn is gross - what to do?
 

yea, bet and call/fold depending on your odds when it gets back to you.
