Top pair fold 3 handed

[JDalla]

The bettor is an unknown, seems like a standard not good not awful player. The other guy peels too light sometimes.

why do you assume he cant have A3s A5s A6s A7 A8 or another A9? or maybe he doesn't think anyone's gonna have an ace after that flop action so he bets his 99-KK again?

i'm check raising this flop. sometimes i'd donk these 4-way flops since people don't always c-bet 4-way, but the fact that it's A42 and not AT8 makes me feel like he's going to c-bet almost 100%.

the flush card hit too... but yeah probably played it too weak. I figured the pot wasn't that big anyway and I might be behind as it is, and if not my opponents probably both have pretty good equity unless they have like red PPs. or red A3.

I'd be more aggressive on the flop or something but call down after that turn card.

Why are you calling pre-flop if you're going to play the flop as you did? I'd think the value of your pre-flop play depends in part on how you play a flop like this and in this instance your flop appproach seems to undermine (or burn money) your pre-flop approach once SB calls the flop bet.

You need to put in a raise and then fold if you get raised back against a standard player
