AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

Villain is 28/11/1 over 30 hands or so. He waited a pretty long time before he raised which made me think it might be a bit fishy, but given his aggression factor, the flop, and the number of callers I think this is a fold.

Btw, I know my flop bet is on the smallish side, but I was in a classic WA/WB situation and wanted to control the pot size a bit. I also thought that any decent sized bet into 3 callers on a flop that was unlikely to hit me was going to represent alot of strength, and given that all of the callers were loose/passive types I didn't think anyone would make a play just based on the bet size.

Re: AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

So, you made a smaller bet so that somebody would "make a play" and then you folded?

Re: AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

No?

Re: AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

You're getting 3.5:1 in position and you fold? Is it possible he could play 77-KK plus 44, 55 the same way?

A fold here is very weak-tight. Aggression factors over 30 hands, when he's only played like 8 of them, are meaningless.

Re: AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

The agression factor is small yes, but I'm not sure this means a set and I doubt 45s calls you pf, I'm doubtful. This could easily be another overpair but you know the villain better than I do.

Re: AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

I don't think guys with 1 aggression factors raise the flop with anything less than QQ or a set, and a set seems more likely here. I dunno, it's not a fold I would always make, and I'm not sure it was the right play, but that's why I'm here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

AF means nothing after 30 hands, btw. We could argue that it doesn't mean much after 300 hands as well.

Re: AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

Well, it means more than nothing but of course it's less than definitive. I find aggression factor do converge quicker than some other stats though.

Re: AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

I've had an aggression factor of 0 before after 50 hands.

but anyway, I don't mind this fold actually. The c/r in a multiway pot is very strong.

Re: AA vs 3 callers and baby flop
 

Fold is good.
