Play hand

$2/$4 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A:c, T:c.
Hero raises, 6 folds, BU calls, SB 3-Bets, BB folds, Hero calls, BU calls.

Flop: (10 SB) K:h, A:s, 3:d (3 players)
SB bets, Hero calls, BU calls.

Turn: (6.5 BB) 3:c (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, BU folds, SB 3-Bets, Hero calls.

River: (12.5 BB) 8:d (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 14.5 BB.

Preflop I make the standard raise with ATs (I know that the charts tell you to fold at lower limits, but at these limits its absolutely even EV to call or raise with ATs from UTG1. I prefer the aggressive route). SB is extra aggro on his 3 bets from the blinds, and is 20/18 overall anyways.

Nice flop for me and SB makes a standard continuation bet. I call to open myself up for a reraise on the turn to try and push him off the hand.

The board pairs and I make my reraise. Unfortunately SB makes a 3 bet and thankfully with the board pairing I'm a split pot against AQ or AJ. Unfortunately I'm also a split pot against A9-A4 and A2. I make the call.

The river mise well have been a blank in my opinion. If he is holding A8 I just got incredibly unlucky, but I call to keep the pot small with rake in mind.

Hi!

On this flop you are not a favourite against his standard range.Even if he is a bit looser you are far from 66%.

Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 49,648% 47,697% 3,903% 48,401% AcTc
Player 2: 50,352% 48,401% 3,903% 47,697% TT+, AQs+, KQs, AQo+

I would play this hand WA/WB therefore caldown.

As played I think you can fold on the turn 3-bet against a reasonable guy.

dont understand your turn raise.

U split with all aces and lose against AK,AA,KK.

SB has to fold all the pockets licke JJ,QQ (if he would bet them on the turn), so theres not much value in a raise.

I would call and hope that BU calls a K....theres rarely protection needed, since villain has only 4 Outs with a gutshot...everything else has 3 (Ax) or 2(Pockets) Outs.

i like a calldown in that spot.


I agree with my posters above. You need to consider that his stats look reasonable so his range after his 3-bet against a UTG openraise has to be very tight so you aren't very often a favorite.
Worse hands may only check the turn after getting called by 2 opponents so this makes it even worse. Calldown and hope for a split or to win sometimes. :)
