Massive pot, tight spot - TS 15/30
 

Ok, this is Turning Stone 15/30. Seems like an insane game.
I have only been in for about one rotation, so no huge reads except that things can get very LAGgy.

Hero has A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG and raises.
UTG+1 cc.
UTG+2 three bets.
MP1 cc
MP2 cc
CO cc
Button cc
blinds fold
Hero caps
All call.
(This just about blew my mind - hero plays a lot of internet 6 max and is now virtually clueless about how to handle this nonsense)

Flop:

9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets, folded to MP1 who calls, folded to button who calls

Turn: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets, MP1 raises, button folds, Hero Calls (?)

River: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero checks, MP1 bets, Hero calls

thoughts?

Give the huge pot size, I don't think I played this one horribly, but I seems that with two calls on the flop, I was probably cooked.

How many of you fold the turn?

looks good to me...

Not a huge fan of the flop bet, but everything else seems fine.

I am a huge fan of this flop bet, and I think you played the hand well.

Is this hand super boring?
I'm inexperienced at live middle limit and would love to hear more more about playing this hand.

This would seem reasonably simple to me had I played it on Stars, but I feel somewhat lost live.

I think everything here is fine. Folding to the turn raise/river bet would be awful. It's closer to a raise then a fold IMO.

Yes this hand is boring but so what. Your job is not to entertain us. Your job is to become the best poker player you can, and if theres something about this hand that bothered you than you should post it to get clarity.

The reason you call down once raised on the turn is cuz you can still have the best hand, this pot is huge, and you dont really have any solid reads, so its time to get to the showdown and see who wins. You will be losing here most of the time but given the pot size, the small chance your hand is best combined with those times you get lucky on the river and spike your 2 outer makes this a profitable calldown against a live unknown.

played fine...usually at live middle limit you will get raised on the turn by A 10, AJ, AQ and even as bad as A8...especially in a loose game...You will need to make heavy adjustments from online play...I'd say once in an a while your beat there...check and call river...very normal Loose action

yeah I would almost 3 bet here on the turn but given the non drawy board of 993 rainbow i think a call on the turn is good. I'm guessing by your tone that you lost the hand but whatever, if he has T9s he has T9s. I think a lot of worse aces play the hand this way so itz really impossible to fold
