Up against two loose passive players. Both liked to play their suited hands quite a bit and neither had bet top pair from what I could see.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Preflop: Hero is UTG2 with A:h, A:s.

On the Turn i like your play. If you say they are both loose passive i don't see button betting with a non flush hand but on the flop you've been a little too weak. Although your equity edge is not that big because bu could have AK AQ :club: TT JJ but he could as well have AK AQ with just a flushdraw. QQ and KK. So you are still ahead and maybe Mp3 folds a small flushdraw if you 3bet the flop. Moreover you don't want BUtton to take a freecard and neither you wanna miss value. Given the board looks so scary you may have been too influnenced by that, not taking into consideration that you're ahead against his entire range.

Suggestions?

i think he played the pot correctly by not going too aggr. on a wet board

on flop after his bet BU raise on such a wet board considering preflop action was enough to suggest he may be behind even with AA , on the other hand if he would have gone for a 3-bet then BU cap would have put him in a very difficult situation

so it was a correct play to bet the flop & get information & wait for turn card without investing more

Fold on turn!

But, if you feel like spewing, checkraising the turn might be fun. Who knows what the MP player might fold there. A small flush? Then the LP player may have QQ/KK without the suit. You will feel like a genious.

Id cap flop and bet/fold turn. Then again im a 6max player not a FR so i guess its a bit different.

If they are EXTREMELY Loose Passive. like 60/1 in vpip/pfr i would do your line but if they are LPs like 30/8. or something of that alley. then i would do the line i mentioned above ON THE TURN NOT THE FLOP ALWAYS 3BET OR CAP FLOP !!

Hi!

3bet flop?!? Seems very standard to me.

As played turn is easy fold.
