is this close?

[jba]

44 in SB and i complete after a fishy limper, BB checks. bb is tag.

flop A45r
I bet, bb raises, I 3bet

turn Tr
I bet, bb raises, I ???

[danzasmack]

meh i don't think so. Even if he has 23 you have 11 outs. There are a lot of 2 pair combos.

[Guruman]

I dont think that there's any way that bb doesnt raise TT+ in that situation, and its fairly unlikely that he'll check 55 there.

More likely is a twopair turn hand that doesnt include the ace. I'd keep the gas down.

[bobhalford]

I'd 3-bet without thinking.

[yourface]

all in

[jba]

hmmmm ok

two followups:

what should a reasonable villain's range be when he raises the turn? do you guys think a raise with bottom two is good here? do you ever raise with one pair here?

what do we do on river if he caps? esp a board pairing river.

[Guruman]

if he did manage to check the bb with Ax or A5 he could be on that line - mainly because your hand can't rep the ace and your line looks like it wants a fold - especially on the flop.

If you threeball the turn, he caps, the river pairs, you bet, he raises then i'd just call there and concde that he either played weird preflop, caught a miracle postflop, or spewed.

guru I pretty much never raise A4/A5/55 in the bb in this spot. i actually think it's pretty bad..

[milesdyson]

agree raising those hands is bad.

i think it is close. if he caps, then yeah fold river ui.
