Fun Little WSOP Hand

Level 3, blinds are 100/200.

I have 30k (due to absolutely no skill of my own) and a tight MP player with about 13k makes it 600 to go. I call behind him with T7s. CO calls, Button calls, both blinds call and we go 5 handed to the flop with 3k in the middle.

The flop is the extremely interesting A89. It checks to me and I....?

baaaaaarf. There's an ace somewhere and we both know it never folds, c/c and hope you've got position on it.

I just check. With so many seeing the flop, it will be hard to buy this one. With four outs to the nuts and four to the second nuts, you're happy to take a free card. If anyone bets behind you, you'll have good relative position and probably immediate odds to chase.

I think your only real option here is checking, because like adanthar said, the ace will never fold on the flop here...

I would fold preflop, but the call might be EV+ for some people.

Check/call. This is not a good situation to play this aggressively.

I probably check-raise hoping a weaker A will fold now or in the turn.

If 2 spades were out, I would want some money in to build a pot. As is, Adanthar is right, the Ace does not lay down, so see cards cheap, and hope to hit and pick Aces pocket.

I think it matters here if the flop is rainbow or not.

MLG · #9 08-06-2006, 04:32 PM

sorry, rainbow flop.

You think you're deep enough to make that call preflop without the button?
