2nd orbit. Hero is mid 30s and has played 1 hand. 9:30 pm Saturday night at SugarHouse in Philadelphia

Hero ($280): AdAs

Preflop 1 limp to, hero makes it $13 which I thought would get it 2-3 ways based on observed table dynamics, HJ calls, CO calls, button calls, SB calls, BB calls, limper calls.

Flop ($91): 8c6d3h

Checks to hero, who checks intending to checkraise, thinking my hand is so obviously and overpair if I bet here. Checks around

Turn ($91): 3c

SB (Asian Guy with headphones who hasn’t been memorable) bets $35, BB (MAWG who has been a little more active) calls $35, limper folds

Hero? SB has another $150 behind, BB covers us both

All you can really do is call here. Theres enough draws and "only" 2 callers and it was the bottom card that paired. Hope for a blank river and another small bet and cross your fingers. If SB bets over $60 on a blank river Id probably fold putting him on a 3.

Btw. Don't rely on other people to bet for you at 1 buck 2 buck.

Why do you think that? Based on this action we are almost always ahead.

The turn just put us ahead of 86. There are multiple draws on the board and nobody will ever believe we have an overpair....especially AA. Im raising. If someone has a 3, its his lucky day.

I’d imagine the only threes we’d have to worry about is all combos of A3, fairly unlikely since we block aces, and pocket threes, maybe K3s. We just faded 86, and we likely don’t have to worry about sets, really. Probably a ton of weaker overcards and flush/straight draws.

I’d raise, which is definitely going to thin the field. To my inexperienced mind, it’s worth folding out these draws.

I don’t understand the flop check. There are 45bbs in the pot and if you bet and everyone folds, that’s fine but this is 1/2 and I doubt everyone will fold to a bet on that board
You say betting reeks of an overpair but checkraising doesn’t?

Yes, betting this flop as the PFA is a set or overpair but given the action preflop, they are almost certainly weak players who only see the two cards in front of them and couldn't care less about your range

You need to bet flop to

1) get value
2) charge draws
3) narrow field
4) grow pot

We are talking 1 pair hand here - you're fortunate the turn was as good as it was.

You have already seen 3 checks. What kind of hands that would bet this flop that a) didn't 3 bet preflop and b) AA is still ahead? No way someone will semibluff with 97 or 75 and there are no flush draws. So basically, if one of the late position players bets this board, it's likely with a hand that has you beat, which isn't likely at all. You can expect it to check through a lot with this board. No reason to give a free card to 6 players.

Sure, betting out looks strong. But you can still get value from the straight draws, 99-JJ and sometimes top pair. There's $93 in the pot. Go take it. You have to bet at least $65 here. If you take it down, great.
