This hand was played by a friend and we have been talking about how to play this for days and need the expert opinions here to clarify things. The game is a full $5-$10 at Borgata and Hero has $3600 before this hand. He bought it for $1200 and has been playing pretty solid poker. Villian (UTG with $3400) is an older man in his 70's who is tight and seems to know and enjoy the game. He plays often and the two had been talking during the session.

Hero has AxA in the SB. 4 limpers and Hero makes it $80. All limpers call. ($400 in pot). Flop is K83. Hero leads for $200, Villian raises to $700. Folded to Hero.

We have made arguments for calling, raising, and folding here and seem to think that raise or fold may be the right play here. But we are quite unsure. Would like to discuss.

Does villain have you covered?

Edited, sorry. Almost even stacks.

I don't play nearly this deep (weird FL laws), but anyone else like making it $1800-1900 and (obviously) calling a shove? I don't like calling and check/folding a blank turn.

raise/get it in and run it twice

If you are calling a shove there, why not shove first and leave yourself fold equity? I hate raising and having Villian shove if Hero is going to call anyway.

Because any hand that is shoving over our raise is calling our shove anyway (since you've committed yourself). I think making it $1900 gives him a chance to call with hands you beat, like KxQh, which is not calling a shove, but might stick another $1100 in on the flop and fold the turn (even though it's horrible).

Does villain fold 7h6h if you shove? How about 88/33?

Since this is a live full ring hand, you may want to post it at the full ring forum. Also, if you are looking for serious response, you should post this midstake hand at the midstakes forum.

sorry bout that my bad thanks, thread has been moved to MSNL

Against described villain, this is actually a fold.

ya this was my thinking as well, dude has a flush like 99% of the time and a set the other 1%.

I don't like leading this flop with 4 people behind me.

This is a nice place to check and assess the situation.

NIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah i pretty much agree with the consensus. this is a flush almost 100% of the time.
