Default Trip aces with bad kicker in multiway pot

Do you play this hand any other way?

My reads are CO: very agressive pf but very ABC after the flop

UTG = calling station, doesn't bet without a good hand (top pair at least)
UTG+1 = LAG, likes to gamble a lot, raise about 40% of the time pf. The reraise here means a drawing hand more that a big ace, in fact any big ace or pair, he raises first.

I thought about a C/R on the turn to make the flush draw pay but wasn'T sure if UTG was on a draw. Comments?

Another ipoker player!

Don't know the two villains so can't help with reads.

Looks pretty standard to me, I don't really see any value in betting or CR the river. You're OOP against 2ops and a whole lot of bets have gone in.

Is there a reputation for ipoker players?

I play on both ipoker network (CD Poker) and Party.
I find ipoker players to be alot weak tighter (currently played over 2K hands at .25/.50 level and am running with a BB/100 of over 8 ! grinding to build a bankroll, as come from a NL MTT background) than Party though.

Interested in your thoughts.

Lol, no. My exclamation was in seeing someone else who plays there (I do) - it's not a network you hear a lot of players talk about (at least not in terms of limit hands).

I haven't played at enough site lately to really compare the players but I wouldn't think they were significantly different to anywhere else.

c/r flop for value especially with multiple players invested. given your read you have the best hand almost always.

Passive play will not win the maximum here
- there is a good chance that UTG+1 will realise that he isn't going to take down the pot with his 89s or whatever and give up. having it checked through would suck.
- people will call you down with any pair anyways putting you on a lolflushdraw or whatever

lol. yeah , you're right you dont hear alot about it. I've never seen a post (apart from this thread) with a hand from ipoker.

I'm currently playing .25/.50 on both cd poker and party and am finding the players on party a lot looser and willing to chase that river Ace all the way not matter
what!

Still more $ for me in the long run!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The fact that the preflop first raiser is calling the flop bet doesn't concern you a little? I would have c/r the flop if the button would have folded on he flop but here, i'm not sure i like that play. Also doing so, i clearly tell my hand to the other players, this is why i was thinking about the turn.

I will try to be more agressive next time and by the way, nice read on the uTG+1, he had T9s [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The pre-flop raiser can actually peel here with any pair and he might not believe that the aggressive player has an A. When you overcall that gives your hand away as much as raising. Also, giving away your hand shouldn't be a concern in a pot this big.
