we need to raise the flop imo because there are a lot of hands that have 6+ outs vs us that will call 1 but fold to 2

you need to fold this hand, if he raised you, he most likely have a king, and a possible flush with other oponents in, I muck it every time

I would have limped preflop.

Flop raise looks good.

IMO raising the flop is asking to put 3 bets in to see the turn. I normally hate calling, but I can't find a fold getting 14:1 and implied odds through the roof. Call and pray to hit gin.

And raising PF is dependent on who is UTG. FWIW, I doubt UTG1 has a premium hand, as he overlimped a poster, which is just crazy with a premium. However, I even further doubt that you're going to take this pot down without a showdown.

Id raise. The pot is huge and forcing out hands with 4-7 outs is a huge victory for us. This is a spot where im worried about winning the pot, not saving bets when Im beaten.

I'm confused. Are you really assuming that we're ahead right now?

If we're ahead, then yeah, we want to force out those 6 outers and get this heads up against a draw. But how often are we ahead? And how often will this force a better hand to fold? All 3 opponents could have a K (or better) here and likely will go to showdown with just one pair due to the pot size.

If we're not head, and are unlikely to make a better hand fold, then why, oh why, would we force opponents (read: implied odds) out of the pot and charge ourselves more (and possibly a lot more) to hit our 2 outer?

I have no idea why people wont raise this one preflop. Position against a weak limper and a poster. If we raise we can get it 3-ways and take down the pot without a SD a lot. If one or both of the blinds call we get 3 or 4 to 1 on our money with a good eq edge.


The flop is a raise IMO. The LRR by UTG+1 can be anything and this is a good flop for Hero. In a 13 SB pot it should be worth it to try and shut out people. If UTG+1 3-bets I would call for set outs and BDSD.

raise pf is standard. raise the flop to try and fold out the 6outers in the blinds.

I will say that I have noticed some fish lrr AA from UTG and MP at least 3-4 times in the last week. That is in the 5/10 games on FTP, and I would say at least 50% of the time the lrr has been AA. but that is pretty anecdotal evidence, and probaly doesn't really have any relevance to the thread.

Im not saying our hand is a monster and we're ahead a ton, just that the pot is so big that our main concern is maximizing our chances of winning and not saving bets when we're behind. I dont expect a better hand to fold either, but if it does its huge.
