Foxwoods - 1/2: AQ on AA5 board
 

Been playing for a few hours. I think my table image is tight / neutral (maybe even look a little tight / weak)

I'm in SB with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. My stack size is about $200

4 limpers. I raise to $16 from the SB. BB insta-calls with a stack of about $80. (BB is really bad. Probably never played before. Dealer had to explain to him how to post blinds.) Two other limpers call my raise. This is pretty typical at this table.
PF Pot: $68

Flop:
A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet $20. (yes it's a small bet but I do have trips w/ good kicker and there are no draws. comments on this bet size appreciated though) BB insta pushes for his remaining $64. One other player calls $64.

What should I do?

Easy push, live players are so terrible.

the other player has me covered

I am rasing it all in here. I haven't played live ever, but from what I hear, you can get called by random nonsense. Only really AK, A5 or 55 that beats you. Alot of worse aces are in the "other player" range.

I want to get my stack in, but this is a good flop/image to slowplay. But that also depends on the villain: some villains there's no point to slowplay.

By default, I'd call and get the rest of my stack in on the turn and river by leading. Chances are one of your opponents put in money with a weak hand and it's probably the live limper, so pushing on the flop will induce him to fold correctly.

alot depends on the cold caller here. The BB likely has a weak ace here, but what could the caller have? not all 1-2 players are idiots, and if the caller hasn't shown any inclination to call that size bet with nothing, I'd be a little worried.

On the other hand, BB might push with a medium PP, while caller has a weaker ace. I'd probably push here given your stack size.

I'm the cold calling guy on the flop. What type of table image do you have for me so far? Interesting that you have yourself tight / neutral. I had you starting out the most aggressive at the table but then slowed down a bit as the afternoon wore on. Of that entire table, I only put you and me as players with the guy to your right as not bad either. Everyone else as straight book players or as you said, not even knowing how to post blinds!

Anyway, that being said, what type did you have me pegged as? That's real important. What would I be just flat calling a bet, and an all-in bet with that flop? Now, if you have me pegged as a donkey, thats one thing, I could have A rag very easily. Actually, I hope I'm always pegged as a donkey, get more calls that way.

Think about if we were playing 2/5 or 5/10 and a player at that table flat called, you might still have to push, but would be scary as hell.

FYI for other posters, I had about $500 or so before this hand, table covered.

Foxwoods 1/2 + 100BB + this hand = instajam = ship it to 55
