MP2 ($100) MP3 ($66.40) CO ($99) Button ($84.55) SB ($19) Hero ($214.60) UTG ($100) UTG+1 ($99.50) MP1 ($103.80) Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG calls $1, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls $1, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero checks. Flop: ($3.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $11</font>, MP3 folds, Hero ? UTG is 15/4 over 100 hands. What should my plan be here, I just see a lot of ugly situations arising. If I raise and he reraises I'm feeling sick, if I raise and he just calls, then ugly turn comes and he wants to get it in, feeling sick. |

Fold. I would recommend never playing bottom two pair for a big pot from the blinds in a limped pot. Even when you are ahead, you aren't ahead by much. And when you are behind, you are practically drawing dead. This is a great reverse implied odds situation in which you stand to win a little, or lose a lot.
So, the flop bet for $2.5 is good. Fold to the big raise. |

You are behind one combo of 33 and one of 88. He could have A3 (6) or A8 (6). AA is also possible (3 combos), as he might have tried a limp-reraise. That's a total of 17 combos.
On the other hand, there's 12 combos of every Ax he might have limped UTG and raises you now, thinking "Hero would have raised AQ+, so my AJ must be good". He is not going to raise here with A7, and he would have raised preflop with AQ+, so there is a limited number of kickers he could have. Overall, i think you are ahead of his range. I'd call and reevaluate on the turn. |
