I bet 40$ and fold to a raise and if called I think I check/fold the turn.
BU and BB both only called/coldcalled preflop so it's more likely a suited connetor or a pocketpair than an ace.


check/fold. i think BU or BB must Have something like a AQ, or AJ at least. even if they have poket pairs, it can be TT

I think c-bet is in order here, I would bet/fold 30$ (a bit smaller then usual because its a re-raised pot) and try to check it down if I get called unless I hit K on turn. Out equity against any ace or set is terrible so it's an easy fold if we meet any resistance.

Sometimes I go for simple check/fold as well. Bet/call is worst of all options I think, and check/call is not much better, might be good sometimes if they minbet or something.


Very unlucky flop. Second pair OOP, in reriased pot, 2 opponents, no draw, ace high flop is an easy check/fold imo.

Shame on you rubysilesia! ;)

Why don't you use our great Equilator?


Yeah I confess. If it wasn't starting like 10 times slower than PS I would love to use it for sure ;)


I ask you to put stack sizes to sample hands, It's very important factor that is underestimated by beginners (I forget to look at it plenty times). So far I've been assuming 100BB.

Thanks rubysilesia!

If I don't say anything about stack sizes, it's always 100BB.

Good luck at the tables!

I think minibetting in order to pretent a suckbet and saving money is the right option. If you bet about 12$ any jj and qq should fold. Any Ace beyond AK should simply call and checkdown. If the turn or river brings any K or card that is very unlikely to help your opponent and you put him on a hand like A9, AJ or AQ indicated by his checks you could push all in at the river to make him fold his hand. You should be aware of his Pokerace stats or his habbits you watched before. Push only if he isnt usually calling weak hands. And you can probably only get good players to fold their Ace, so watch out!

Only 20% were correct here:

Hero check/folds. Both opponents are unknown and often at least one of them has an ace here. We don't get both of them to fold often enough to make a continuation bet profitable. Check/call doesn't work either because we are drawing to two outs and have a really small equity against all Ax hands.
