Figured i'd take the risk for a little extra $. I know some peoples philosophy is to always bet but i figured these guys for not much at all since most people in this situation would bet out a flush draw.

I don't think there's any need. You'll get called down regardless.

What makes you so sure? The guy in the small blind was pretty tight.

Well, you didn't say that in your original post.

I don't slowplay, well first of all, I wouldn't limp utg, I'd definitely raise or fold. Second of all, I don't feel that top pair shit kicker is a hand you can slowplay.

I'm not a fan of the open limp, but I think slow playing can be viable depending on player images.

oops

really hate that hand

what are you doing open limping in limit 6max period?
raise or fold....you are calling a raise if you limp right, so RAISE...at least you have FE pre and on flop or fold if you dont like raising. open limping is gross

you flopped your ace, all checked. bet medium pair, let along TP...what are you doing?

Thats the textbook play. Just mixing it up a bit.

[easy_as_pie]

hmm fine agreed BUT postflop only.
openlimping is still a very strange line to check.

also, i like ur postflop line a lot more if HU and not three handed. what are you doing when you are c/r on turn OR called and check raised on river.
are you betting blank rivers if you are called on turn

cr is an easy fold.

I brought this topic up because ive seen some good players play this hand the same way and get 2 callers to the river where if they played it by the book they'd be lucky to get 1.
