A9s multiway with RIO
 

Everyone in this hand is loose, except the second cold-caller, who's unknown. A few of the loose guys are slightly aggressive, and a few of them are passive. The guy that bet the flop, though, is 18/3/not-aggro (133 hands).

I kinda felt like folding the flop, but that's maybe just a little too weak.

I was intending to check through the river unless it was a spade, ace, or 9.

Raise flop. Bet turn when checked to.

Re: A9s multiway with RIO
 

I would definately be raising this flop and take things from there.

Re: A9s multiway with RIO
 

I limp preflop, raise the flop. As played, I like the turn raise, although the board gets a bit straighty here. The river card sucks.

I really don't see how you can fold TPTK (though marginal) and a BDFD in a pot that big, especially when the others are bad.

Re: A9s multiway with RIO
 

I think you played this fine.

I'm curious about a flop raise here. It seems like it would be an error to me because this is 6-ways and you already know the people behind you have no problem callin 2 bets cold with X. At best you'll get 1 or 2 to fold but your TPTK isn't going to be good all that frequently here, especially with that semi-coordinated board.

How do we feel about folding the flop? sure, it's a bit weak to fold TPTK, but your pair isn't huge and it's a 6-way pot...might a fold be okay here, or is the pot too big to justify that? Or do we stay here because we do in fact think your TPTK is going to hold up 6-ways until the river?

i like the turn raise.

A little?!?!? You should be raising and hopefully 3betting that!

Turn semi-bluff raise is cool, though I'd prefer a somewhat more raggedy board for that. River check seems reasonable.

Marty,

let's try that again: I have top pair top kicker. My hand figures to be best now, but not so anymore if I let villains draw cheaply as it is a weak TP and many cards can hurt me. Since I reason to have the best hand now, I ... do what?

Yeah, I like limping PF in this hand.

I don't understand, you want me to three-bet the flop, but call the turn?
