Default $1/2 UTG

Here is a hand that got me thinking about life.

All players have roughly $200 on the table. I raise to $8 with AKo UTG. I get called by MP1, MP3, and the BB.

MP1 is supertight. I have only seen him play a couple hands in about 5 orbits now.

Mp2 is quite tight also.

BB is loose and aggressive. He is quite bad, loves his Ax, will bluff, and goes to far with his hands.

The pot is $33 on the flop. The flop comes A85 rainbow and the bad BB checks to you.



What is your bet size and why?

Bet $25. Fold to a raise from the middle guys. Shove if BB raises.

$20 due to the uncoordinated board. Would bet more w/ 2 suits or if the two low cards were closer together. $20 should tell you where you're at w/o putting too much into the pot.

Not to say that I wouldn't bet $25, but $20 accomplishes the same thing and saves us $5 in the event of a set behind us. $1/2 live plays different than online, just control the pot until you get a lock and you want to drag the AQs and AJs along behind you FTW.
