A9o s/b defense

Just sat down, so no reads to speak of... If it was just the button I might have called, but the BB's presence definitely tipped the balance.

comments on all streets welcomed

I don't think his flop raise means he has you beat enough to fold here. The turn is a good card. I'd call down

you only have to be right here less than 1/4 times. I would raise this turn to force out BB and fold to a 3bet

Call down, but be careful if the river is a King or club.

raise the turn, don't fold. if you cant fold to a turn 3-bet, call down.

Dude, call down.

I thought my 3-bet pre=flop was marginal...how low do you go with an unsuited ace to 3-bet with no reads from the sb?

w/o a read it is tought, but my general rule of thumb against an unknown is to 3-bet with any hand I would open raise with UTG and call with anything else I am going to play. I raise A9o/A8s UTG 6-handed.

This is a good fold if the guy is 13/5/.5
