Re: A3s, okay play?
 

<grunch>

preflop: why are you playing this hand? Why are you RAISING with this hand?

Flop: the pot is pretty huge, but what is BB's 3-betting range? AA-QQ and AKs? The only out you can buy here is the A in the case that he has KK. I don't raise this.

Turn: as played, good check. It would be very bad to bet this, as you would have to call a raise.

River: obvious fold.

preflop raise is standard??? I stop stealing at A7s.

Re: A3s, okay play?
 

Just incase you were wondering, which you probably weren't, he had JJ. If I knew, after the preflop action that he had JJ (which I didn't, obviously) I think this line is the best. Don't you?

I fold pf. Generally, I hate A-trash suited. These only play well in loose games when you have several limpers in front of you. I don't like the raise as this is an easily dominated hand.

I fold the flop. BB probably has Queens You need to hope for an Ace, which might be counterfeited anyway, or a BDFD.

I wouldn't be in the turn, but seeing as you are, checking is fine. Hmmm, BB either has a Queen with a weak kicker, or most probably AK. You are still behind.

I fold the river. BB probably does have AQ, he was worried by your flop raise that you could have AA of KK. You've shown weakness so he bets.

Uh, you fold getting 10.5:1 with a gutshot, an overcard and a BFD? Okay there.

Read the previous responses about the preflop action.

Re: A3s, okay play?
 

Nah, alot of people missed the gutshot. Your advice is correct if we're missing the gutshot, and we're all here to make mistakes so we can get better : )

Re: A3s, okay play?
 

lets see....hmm, you call a three bet with a3 suited...no you should of never even seen teh flop...sorry if some one under me already said that i just read the main post

Re: A3s, okay play?
 

Usually at this limit I don't try to steal, but I would rather raise with this hand than open limp. I would probably just fold it here. When you raised and he 3 bet with only one limper in between I would lay this hand down.

On the flop you are getting 10.5:1 to hit your gutshot. That is almost enough to chase it. With the runner nut flush draw I probably would chase here. I would probably just call here instead of raise, but it didn't work out too bad for you (it got you a free card).

If he bet the turn again it would be an easy call with a nut flush draw. When you miss on the river it is an easy fold.

Re: A3s, okay play?
 

Yeah, I think your postflop play is perfect.

Uhh, I didn't call 3 bets. I opened, with A3s, and called one more bet on top.
