Just a quick question about what to do in this situation.

Hero ($650): UTG+1 AA raises to $15
3 callers including SB.

Flop: 1086

SB checks, Hero bets 35. Call from HJ and SB.

Turn: Q

SB checks, Hero bets 85. HJ folds. SB check-raises to 200. Hero opted to call.

River: 7

SB all in for 315. What should the Hero do with limited information on this player?

Your price is ~25-26% ott (V can have sets or straights so I'm figuring all 9 spades are still live) and you are only about 18-20% to hit the flush. So even none of you're outs dead you don't have the right price. And 1 pair is good almost never here. I'd fold ott.

We don't want to go multiway with AA in a raised pot, imo. So I'd either (a) raise more preflop or (b) limp/reraise. If the table is loose and aggro, option b is best. If it limps around, oh well, play carefully and on the nitty side.

SPR actually ain't too horrendous here as it is above 10, so long as we get things HU on the flop. In a multiway pot on a drawy board, I think we can get away with small 1/2 PSBs on most streets if it ends up HU on the flop, and fold to any raise (where I doubt people will be getting too out-of-line). I'm ok with the 1/2 PSBish size bet on the flop.

I would check the turn. A bunch of draws just got there (the obvious flush draw, as well as J9), plus there's also a chance we were behind on the flop. If we're raised, it's unlikely we'll have the odds to call for our flush draw. If someone bets, we'll have to evaluate to see if we think we have the implied odds to call (noting that our implied odds on a four-to-a-flush board probably ain't great). As played, a check/raise is extremely strong and I would fold pretty easily, even readless, without the odds. Next time do the math for us, but it looks like pot is $450 and we're being asked to call $115, so we actually have about the necessary immediate odds to chase our flush draw, so I would also call.

Easy fold on the river, imo. There doesn't seem to be that many (any?) busted draws that could be bluffing, nor many worse hands that think they are value betting (KK + spade draw?).

OP should have done the math for us, but I believe we are getting about 4:1 on the turn ($115 to win $450).

115/450 = 0.25555

What I said wasn't a guess. Hero doesn't have DO. If you can hit a spade otr and get $125 called by V, then you have IO.

115/(450+115) = 0.2035, imo.

Check turn. You don't want to get raised off your draw and it's hard to get called by worse. If I had red AA I'd bet fold turn. Fold turn. If he had a flush, you only have 7 outs. As played fold river. Yes he was bluffing now but the vast majority of time he has it.

Ya take 2 weeks off and ya forget how to do math. The 20.4 is right, flat ott to hit a spade otr. c/f missed spades. The tricky part is what to do if a spade (that maybe isn't the 6s) hits.

Even with ~immediate odds, it's still dicey. As Shady says, we might only have 7 outs if villain already has a flush (and he might not pay off small flushes). Plus making top set on the river could also be really tricky too, and 6s as you mention.

Thanks guys for the thoughts. Sorry for not supplying a lot of information, it was the first time I've posted about a hand on here.
