Recommended Posts

Hand happened on Sports.com so I don't have history.Blinds (1/2)Table: Everyone playing pretty straight forward. Nothing creative. Hands pretty much play themselves.Hand:4 Limpers. I'm on the button with AKo. I raise. UTG & UTG+1 call rest fold.Flop: Pot (9.5) A 10 3 rainbowCheck, Check. I bet, Call, Call.turn: Pot (12.5) Turn A 10 3 10UTG checks, UTG+1 bet, Hero sighs cause he knows UTG+1 just hit trips.Fold or raise or call down?Edit: Sorry if this is fundamental. Trying yet again to learn lhe

raise. protect your hand and get it heads-up. you can probably also make a case that your raising for value here. it is very unatural for someone to lead out in that sitution if they just tripped up. agaisnt a pre-flop raiser, and flop bettor, im pretty sure that the majority of players would go for a c/r here. could be a semi-bluff.

my gut says call, but the advice on raising was probably correct. these are the kinds of situations that plague me because it's difficult for me to make a move if i have a feeling i'm beat already. i get busted out because i never find out to the end that that was my moment to get extra bets in.raising there is actually an excellent option. if he raises back, you would call and expect to check/call the river...if he calls your re-raise on the turn he realizes his ploy didn't work and now he's worried that since he doesn't have the Ten, maybe you do, even if he went into it thinking you were good for an ace because of the preflop raise.....i think what i'm trying to say is, that re-raise on the turn could garner you a free showdown with the river which is probably what you are looking for seeing as how you are ready to fold two pair with the ace and best kicker from his first bet.

I threw call in there, but never felt that was an option. Is raise/fold a good line here on the turn? Still 2 bets but atleast i've taken the lead.
