HU ace high on the river

[jeanbaptiste36]

Villain is 25/2/0.9 over 300 hands.

I limp first-in with As2s. Villain limps next and the blinds come along.

The flop is 8sKs8h.
The blinds check to me and I bet. Only villain calls.

The turn is 6c.
I bet and villain calls.

The river is 4d.
What should hero do?

I think it's between check/call and check/fold. If I bet and villain calls, he will show me some pair.

i c/f without a read. usually, though, when he has a busted draw he will just check behind and you will win. if he bets, i give him credit for something that beats 88AK6.

[Smurph64]

His aggro is low I would go with check/fold

[Riku]

Open limping with A2s doesn't sound that good.

I fold preflop
As played I would c/c the turn and c/f the river

I don't like open-limping preflop. What position are we in anyway?

I don't like the flop or turn bets in a limped pot. The pot's too small and the field's too large to force everybody off their hands with ace high, and our flush is only going to come in 35% of the time.

On the river, I c/f.

We are in second position in MP. I don't know quite what to do with lower suited aces first-in from MP. What AXs would you play here? Is it a raise or fold situation? It's not strong enough to raise.

I think the flop is a bet because no one might have hit that flop and we might be betting for value.

At 6-max UTG, I tend to raise A7s+ and sometimes a little lower. I open-raise A2s from about CO.

I think that all you accomplish with an c/c is to miss out on some folding equity. The scenario that he raises with an eight seem to be an ev neutral one.
