Quiz 1: Ace-Jack out of position in a multiway pot

  4 Reviews (Login to Write a Review)

The Situation: You are playing a full ring $2/$4 NL Hold 'em cash game at your local casino. So far, play has been very loose, with lots of pre-flop raises and mostly multi-way pots.

Player A makes it $15 to go from middle position. The cutoff and the button, who both have deep stacks and have been calling a lot of raises in and out of position, make the call. From the Big Blind, you look down and find:

Ace of Hearts Jack of Spades

You decide to call and the flop comes:

Ten of HeartsNine of HeartsAce of Spades

There is $62 in the pot and you lead out with a $50 bet. Player A folds, and both remaining players quickly call.

The turn card pairs the board with the Ten of Clubs

There is now $212 in the pot and you have $200 left in your stack.

What is your move? Do you:

a) Bet half the pot
b) Make a pot sized bet (go all in)
c) Check, with the intention of calling unless it gets bet and raised
d) Check, with the intention of folding to any large bet
e) other

I would prefer answer D cause with AJo u can easily be dominated and your opponents have AT or KT in there range and vs 2 opponents you are mostly beaten.
I would say one got a flush or straight draw or monster draw and the other might have a better ace or the ten.
And first of all i wouldnt play AJ OOP in a multiway pot as caller

I wrote a huge reply but it wouldn't show most of it
I'm shoving here if the players are generally loose and bad (loose/passive) and I would probably call a bet on the river as well if a safe card hits.
Most draws missed so far and its a loose game so smaller aces and gutshots are possibly out there, both of which you have huge equity against.
I dont particularly like it but im not going to throw it away just yet.
