Default Bottom pair/ISD check raise and fold

Button appears to be the tightest and most straightforward at the table. He's clearly capable of folds and just saw me take a very conservative line against him while I was holding an overpair.

SB is highly sporadic, tricky and aggressive. He's an attraction in full ring though someone I'd tend to avoid in games like this.

Button raises
SB calls
Hero calls from BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero checks
Button bets
SB calls
Hero calls

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero checks
Button bets
SB folds
Hero raises
Button 3 bets
hero folds

Comments on all streets appreciated.

if he is straight forward then he prolly wouldnt bluff the turn. If you think you can push him out this is okay, if not then just call and c/c the river for the same price. I like just calling down here, you will get reraised to often to make it a +EV play.

I dislike your line very much with your holding. I would like it a lot better if you held J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I only like the flop. When the tight button bets again on the turn vs 2 opponents what do you think he has? Black overcards???

Well, PF I might fold, but calling looks right. These guys still have a decent range of pre-flop button opening hands that A2o is good against.

Flop: I like this.

Turn: I hate your CR and would simply call.

River: It would depend on the specific card, but after check / calling turn I would probably do the same on river.

In my experience, SB would three bet preflop with any ace nearly 100%. There's some chance I have the best hand preflop.

Thanks for the replies so far.

My sentence structure was horrible. I am agreeing with you pre-flop and think you should call with A2o.
