Thoughts?

I can't imagine not playing it this way.

[b33nz]

standard.

[ClockWyze]

Really? you guys feel it is that standard?

I am slight dog 45/55 to a hand like AK, AQ, AJ

35/65 against A9

30/70 against a spot.

Basically if I get called I am a dog.

Can anyone find a fold here with the check/raise?

[lastchance]

You're also getting massive overlay, plus Villain should really think about the limited hand range you have.

[Myst]

His huge raise and huge stack basically pot comitted himself to the pot. Since he limped from early position, you must assume he has at least a big ace, if not a set of 9s or (less likely) a set of 4s made. You are probably going to find yourself at the very best, be a slight underdog in this pot. I would fold, unless I have a read knowing he is tricky agressive / or can lay down a big hand (like TPTK to a big 3rd reraise all in).

[DevinLake]

Well, if you are in love with this hand, this is not the way I'd play it.

If you are willing to go broke here, why not find a way to get a worse hand to put more chips in. 3-betting him here seems like a for sure way to get a fold or go broke.

So, the only reason to 3-bet is to protect against the draw. Is this villain playing a flush draw on a A-high flop this fast?

So, I'd probably call his min raise and hope to check raise him on the turn or value lead the river.

[ryanghall]

I'm playing this the same way as you played it.

How can you fold even if you're a slight underdog... what about the pot odds?

[Jay Riall]

I would crAI with these stack sizes. Yields more FE than a b/3b line imo.
