Game is $1/$2 I have been playing relatively few hands since winning a massive $700 pot with the nuts, although villain in this hand just sat down.

Villain is a youngish white guy who sits down and immediately starts talking loudly about some intricate ruling decision in some $2/$5 game. He has $200.

I open AT in EP to $7. Probably should have just folded preflop, but meh.

Villain calls MP, CO and button also call.

Pot: $30
Flop 743

I check and it checks around.

Turn: 3

I check, Villain bets $20, folds to me, I?

I think my flop check seems fine but maybe I should be betting the turn? It's seems clear that my hand is probably good unless someone has AJ-AK or like 22. Not sure if it makes sense to bet. Probably a good bet with a heart in my hand or maybe only with the A?

Should I be calling and calling all rivers or only certain ones?

obv fold pre

This is a very easy give up. He could be slowplaying eff nuts, he could also make you look rly dumb w/55-66, 4x. Hero'ing the turn to hero missed hearts otr is clearly a net loser in itself

Don't be that habitual ace hi calling guy @ 1/2

Call

Come on man

No,

I cannot see you with that hand UTG and play it that way.
Sorry, but I don't believe what I'm reading. It cannot be true.

In my games, the turn bet still isn't a bluff; it's a mixture of TP, overpairs, and occasional nutted hands. You could call to sniff out the occasional bluff, but I think you're nearly always going to face another bet on the river (that really won't be a bluff) or you'll lose the showdown.

Until I have a good read V often bluffs here, I'm laying it down.

I just don't see a young overconfident player not betting the flop when checked to with those hands. At least not very often.

Anyway, I call.

River: J

I check, he bets $30, I call. He has KJo.

I think I could have folded K/Q/J rivers... Oh well.

I would have bet the turn myself. However, I don't mind the call on the turn. I've called someone down w/ AT when I raised pre, but he had been bullying the table and I'm a woman and no over-card came on river

You should post more kid

As for op, calling down with ace high in certain spots is fine (but unnecessary) but at least try to do it with your better ace highs and try to do it ip

I've won 4 out of the past 5 times calling river with A high, srs. Although it was heads up to the flop and I always had better than A10. I think it's good sometimes against guys who attack any sign of weakness on draw heavy flops with particularly bricky runouts.

It's unlikely V has any of the board on the turn but given our trash hand and minimal investment in this pot I fold turn (assuming I don't fold pre, which I would . J river actually hits a lot of his range if he has air on turn.

This doesn't make any sense. There are many reasons the flop could check through and yet your hand not be good.

Yes.

Yeah, that doesn't seem like a bad plan and he might very well check behind if it had been a Q. I think AP the turn call is fine.

On the initial turn action, I'm on the fence. I'd lean towards betting into 2 opponents but not 3.
