Good laydown, bad laydown? No particular read on Villain. Has shown down some pretty good hands, but who knows, might be tricky.

Big bet on the flop tells me he probably has the case Ace, but what kicker?

Seat 3: Villain - $94.83
Seat 4: Hero - $142.98
Seat 5: Player 3 - $14.79
Seat 6: Player 4 - $6.06
Moving Button to seat 4
Player 3 posts small blind ($0.25)
Player 4 posts big blind ($0.50)

Just noticed I'm chopping with any other Ace, so this is a pretty easy fold. On the turn. Unless he doesn't actually have an Ace.

Put bluntly, too much calling from you for my liking; 4-handed I definitely raise somewhere in here for info. You get no info until you're $20+ deep into the hand and villain pushes into a really scary board, and now you have to fold (I really don't see him pushing with 2 pair or any other hand you can't beat - at best we're chopping here)

On the flop, I don't like the call here. Granted, you have trip aces. But, there are some straight draw possibilites here. I would have re-raised on the flop. I can't really figure out what he has. You better hope he doesn't have A, K of A, Q.

That's why I don't want to raise and make it a really big pot... best just to call on the flop and fold the Turn when it's clear I'm splitting at best with any other Ace. If the Turn were a low card, it'd be trickier, I think I'd have to call and fold if he pushes the river.

What's the reasoning for calling the turn and folding this river? I mean, the river probably didn't help anybody, and given the betting action on all the previous streets, he was most likely to do a river bet. So why are you calling and then when almost nothing have changed and the most likely betting scenario happened you're folding?

I didn't immediately realise when I was playing that I was splitting with any other Ace. I was fairly sure he wouldn't push the river without a full house so that was why I folded then.

4 handed i see him betting with almost any pocket pair on the flop. if hes aggressive enough i can see him doing so all the way down. the only hand i would be worried about is him getting lucky with KK. I think you are ahead most likely, though. The flop bet really looks like KK or JJ, to me. Raise somewhere to find out where you are, bro.
