No reads yet as this is my first orbit. I never know what to do when I'm facing small raises in pots like this...is there any other line here but folding?

Dont think so just too likely your up against a set, also he has position on your so you should be even more willing to fold.

[catalyst]

Set is possible, but unlikely IMO given he checked this flop from the button, 3-way. I think more of his range is ATs-AK, possibly a FD. That said, I think you are up against a better ace here often (or atleast the same ace). Without a read I fold this turn given I am OOP and possibly facing another bet on the river.

[cwar]

I definitely think a set is a possibility (a lot of ppl will slow play in this pot and its not bad IMO) but your right a hand like AK is most likely, still a fold of course.

this is A5/A6 way more often that AQ/AK.

I agree.

We don't beat much of anything that raises here. Pretty easy fold.

I disagree with this, given that there is no read given its more likely that villain is not a loose fish willing to call a 5.5xBB raise with a weak ace. Furthermore there are a lot more ways to make AK/AQ than A5/A6 although I agree that A9 is definitely a big part of his range. Raising with AK or AQ in this spot would not surprise me given the flop was checked around.

This is a fairly easy fold here in my opinion. A set is a possibilty, there is a flush draw to fuel a lower ace or possibly a higher ace. There is a straight draw as well just talking out loud here. In this situation i fold due to the fact I'm behind more often then I'm ahead.

[FastPlaySlow]

Yeah, generally just keep folding to the small raises when you just get there until you think they're overabusing it.
