Daily Poker Quiz: Aces on a Flushy Board

pokertable

The Situation: $5/$10 NL, Full Ring Cash Game. You've been quite active and Loose Aggressive, betting and raising a lot of pots and showing a few bluffs.
From Middle Position you make it $35 to go with AdAh. Both Blinds call and the flop comes AdTs5s. The small blind, another LAG with a deep stack, leads out with an overbet of $120. The Big Blind, somewhat of a Rock with an average stack, calls immediately without hesitation.

"Raise about the size of the pot"



Posted August 28, 2007 by FASTA
I would definitely raise in this case. Then you know what you're opponents possibly have. Because if they call, your opponent probably has 1. flush 2. 2 pair 3. King with high kicker
This way it makes it easier for you to make your next decission on the turn.
  

"Fold"

Definite fold, you have only commited $35 to the pot and the flop isnt very nice.
Maybe a raise if the Small Blind had just bet to see where you stand, but the rock called straight away.
Even if you hit a set one of the aces which will give you a set is a spade which would almost certainly mean behind as I reckon at least one of the other players has a spade.
Too many players can't throw away AA even when they know deep down they are beaten.
  

"easy fold"

even there is a slight chance you have the best hand, there are so many cards that come on the turn that are scare cards.
Since youve got a overbet (probably indicating a made hand wanting to protect against a draw) and an immediate call from a conservative player, your most likely beaten already.
the alternative is raise big, but that would kinda commit you to the hand, which is not what you want
