Live 6/12: A9s-what stage of Zee development am I at?

[Gap23Razor]

[ QUOTE ]
Saturday night, 9 handed,~4 to every flop, a tad more aggressive than typical for a saturday nite. EP has been fairly non-descript, playing few hands and going to showdown rarely. BB is a 65+yo hispanic gentleman who has done nothing outlandish.

EP limp, I call with Ac9c in MP, 2 others call, BB calls.
F: A6c5
BB bets, EP calls, I raise, 2 fold, BB raises, EP calls, I call.
T: 8c
BB bets, EP calls, I raise...

Watcha think?

whoa Mista C! dat turn raise was correctomundo...

let's see, all you had was top pair, a draw to the nut flush and a gut shot to a straight (although just one that uses only 1 of you hole cards and is not the nut straight--still, you straight is on the high end of the straight) lotsa outs plus you may be the top hand right now...good betting the turn

let count the outs...9 for the flush, 3 more for the straight (7c already counted), ding one because it isn't to top straight, but add 1 for maybe being top hand right now with AA, and 1 more for if you nine pairs...i come up with 13...13 out of 46 cards help you...your bet odds are 13 helps versus 23 no helps...i would say that if you get two callers for each bet you put in now you have +ev...and betting on the turn is right, as if the flush comes on the river you won't get much action, but you should get some when your bets are a no-risk free-roll...good play...
