I got this from a quiz about value from sets:
Stacks & Stats
UTG ($10)
UTG+1 ($10)
UTG+2 ($10)
MP ($10) TAG
MP1 ($10)
MP2 ($10)
CO ($10) Calling Station
BU ($10)
SB ($10)
Hero ($10)
Preflop: Hero is BU with 5 , 5
UTG calls $0.10, 2 folds, MP raises to $0.50, 2 folds, CO calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, 2 folds, UTG calls $0.50
Flop: ($2.15) A, K, 5 (4 players)
UTG checks, MP bets $1.50, CO calls $1.50, Hero...?
call (3 Points)
raise (1 Points)
push (1 Points)
Your answer raise (1 Points)
You always have to ask the same questions: how do I get maximum value? Do I need to protect?
You don't have to protect in this particular case. Hands like QJ or JT are of course possible and the opponent could be calling with a potential gutshot. You should still take the risk to just call here, though, because raising in this spot would make your hand too obvious. While the raise might not seem unattractive at first, a call here is a lot more profitable against Ax/Kx hands.
In case you raise, there isn't really a difference between a normal raise or a push; it should be obvious that you will never fold this hand.
Sincerely, I don't agree. If I just call, I can't get more money. If I raise, players, especially beginners tend to call with A and resist to believe they're losing and you can extract more value up to the river
