Standard. If you had the J of clubs I think I'd highly consider mucking this because it takes the KQ clubs/KJ clubs/QJ clubs out of his semibluffing range. Given the past history I can't see folding this.

Bakes will muck AT from early position unopened at a stiff table. Theres no way hes playing a pair of tens with a bad kicker like this (JT, KT, etc). His range to make this play is basically 99,TT,KcQc,AcQc,Ac,Kc, or Ac with K or Q of an offsuit.

Hes not speculating with a small pair or bad clubs here, I dont think. This is a pokerstove without assuming any bias towards clubs in his hand:

Hand 0: 41.790% 39.14% 02.65% 146976 9970.00 { AdJh }
Hand 1: 58.210% 55.56% 02.66% 208646 9970.50 { 99+, ATs+, AQo+ }

And that assumes he would check raise all in with JJ QQ or KK here, which i really dont think is likely.

And equity against a very likely holding:

Hand 0: 09.697% 08.18% 01.52% 600380 111276.50 { AdJh }
Hand 1: 90.303% 88.80% 01.52% 6516574 111280.00 { AcQc }

Yeah, I dunno, I think this is a muck myself. ON the whole multi-level thing, sure he may be making this play on the assumption that you will be folding top pair bad kicker, and be doing it with a worse hand than what you have... but.... since you call, my guess is more that his level is that you are willing to pay off with a pair of aces, so his hand range is a set, a massive combo draw, or NFD that also has you outkicked.

In a 20$ tourney, theres better spots to be in than smooth called from a bad position by a solid player, who then check raises us on a combo board where our top pair medium kicker is the worst hand that most any hand either of us would play preflop would be in....

I'm pretty sure bakes is reraising me preflop with AK.

The main question is how likely is QJs/KQc/KJc in his range (pretty often i was thinking) and how often does he checkraise there as a bluff.

Board: Ah 9c Tc
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 72.463% 71.88% 00.58% 9251 75.00 { TT-99, AQs, KcQc, KcJc, QJs }
Hand 1: 27.537% 26.95% 00.58% 3469 75.00 { AdJh }

Looks pretty standard so far, i don't think he has AT/A9 here preflop that often (maaaybe ATs) so now it depends how often he checkraise bluffs here

And for anyone who dislikes my line, i assume you are checking behind the flop and not bet/folding?

If he can't have QJ/87 w/o clubs sometimes than we aren't getting the price we need to call (unless he has complete air a fair % of the time), which I don't see him having very often against an UTG player on an Ace high flop.

In other words, taking the Jc hands out of his semi-bluff range shouldn't matter much since if they are the only hands there, it's a fold and if non-FD SD hands are there it's a call regardless of whether we have the Jc or not.

Overall, without a read on bakes or knowledge of your image to him, I think it's a fold.

Yes. vs this opponent and this board I check behind, cause im WA/WB and in a massive pot control situation, against a tricky opponent who could well check raise with air (though I think its very unlikely) If SB is a retard that will play trash from the SB, yeah I might bet this board.. but against someone that ive seen hand histories and watched them fold relatively good aces just because they had bad position or faced a raise, I dont like the smell of this board at all with AJ. I know im not ahead of a pair of aces, and i know he is drawing super thin if he has JJ-KK, so the cost of giving him a free card isnt much, if he was ahead, he remains ahead, if he was behind, he remains behind, and if he was drawing, at least i get to see if a club hits. Im not really worried about the clubs all that much, its more that im likely dominated. I really dont think bakes smooth called hero FROM THE SB, for a tenth of his stack, with something like a suited connector. He knows he doesnt have implied odds to mine a flush, he knows hes in bad position to flop a pair and extract, and he knows his cards arent good against my range for showdown quality... so whatever...
