Commerce 9: AA, family pot, monotone flop
 

Standard commerce 9 game...MP was raising nearly every unraised pot. Hero limp/3bets the field with red AA from UTG+1, everyone calls. (Although, as it turned out, the frequent raiser didn't raise this particular hand, but the guy on his left did.)

Flop is the ugly Jc Tc 4c. Checked to hero...

LRR on this table? I just don't do the LRR thing ever.

Re: Commerce 9: AA, family pot, monotone flop
 

I'd keep betting until I hit a raise. You won't get Ac or Kc to fold, but your odds against them are still favorable. I don't like the JT either. Too many str8 and 2 two pair possibilities. So, you are going to lose this hand a lot, but when you win, huge.

Pray to spike an A or pair the board on your turn.

If really "everyone" called, I think hero has almost no chance at all here. I guess there is a chance aggressive betting could push out someone who would have beaten hero by the river, but not sure it would be worth it to try when you could already be behind and drawing nearly dead. The only card you will really like to see is the Ace of spades, and even then won't be safe unless the board is paired as well.

Not much better than a random hand... but considering all the money in the pot we certainly can't fold unless a terrible card hits or we get a ton of action.

I bet the flop and go from there.

I like preflop.

Don't fold, otherwise I don't think it matters much.

Re: Commerce 9: AA, family pot, monotone flop
 

I just haven't yet seen a table when if I raise anything from UTG1 that I won't get several callers. Haven't yet played the 9 there but have played some 8 and it is never a problem. I suppose if the frequent raiser is really frequent as in almost every hand, then the move may work.

I take that back, I did raise AA once playing 2/4 last year UTG and everyone folded to me. Only time though
