Yuck...

The flop bet is on the small side, rather see $4.50+ here. If I'm villain, this looks like it could be a strong A that missed - especially when we call BB's flop raise.

If that's their interpretation, their ranges would include 8x, virtually any pair, 5x, 22, and 88. I'm more inclined to credit MP with a full house with the turn raise, but... I'd be more comfortable that we're behind if we'd re-popped BB's flop raise, or if we'd lead the flop stronger.

The action's too hot for me to be comfortable calling, we're not pot committed, and MP's not going to fold to an all-in, so I'm folding here. But I think there's a really good chance I'm folding the best hand.

Im all in.

The only thing I was worried about was the BB having something like 56 suited and calling because it was only $1.25 more to him. what are you losing to? any 5 or 88. I don't think the MP has 22. Looks like a play with 99 or A8, trying to get you to fold your AK. You looked weak on the flop bet so he can't put you on AA, so that's why he's pushing. Unless MP has only been shoving with the nuts you are good here. Just my 2 cents.

IMO when a LP like the BB ck/r, you get out. Theres a very good possibility that he's holding a 5.

MP could have any number of hands from 88s to 67h. I'm more concerned about the BB though - like I said, warning lights should be going off when an LP ck/r then leads out.

Crying fold IMO.

I agree with that. They are so simple to play against. Bet Bet Bet for value. Get out the way when they get all aggresive.

I just ship it on the flop, imo. Sucks when they have a 5, but you're getting called by basically any overpair and some 8's. A 1.3 AF isn't all that passive for someone with a 35% VPIP plus the sample size is small.

ship the flop i think
