Limped pot

Bb hero $1400: Has grown quite the chip stack at the table. I've been table captain the past few orbits with little contest. The only one who stands up to me is SB and it's always with garbage :-)

SB $700: despite spewing off his chips this elderly black guy loves playing pots with me whenever he can. He's a one and done kind of guy and I've picked off a few of his bluffs because of it.

Button $500: This is actually a competent reg, who's also a dealer. We haven't had a chance to go to show down but I've played with him in the past. I don't view him as a fish. He just got off work and has already stacked a fish AK vr Aj on an ace high board.

Limped pot (family)

The whole table limps and

Hero BB completes with As5h

Pot: 18

Flop: Ad 3c 5s

SB: Leads for $15

Hero: bumps it to $50

Button: cold calls my 3 bet.

SB folds

Now normally I'd view the cold 3 bet as a naked ace... But the reg in the hand wouldn't stick around... So pull some of the bare aces out of his range.

What would you do on the turn?

Pot: $133

Are you putting any more money into the flop? If so how much.

I meant what are you doing on the 'turn' and is my sizing correct for the flop.

Also... Because of the cold call... What range do you give him?

The question I'd be asking myself is what does the button think I'M holding?
A $50 raise in a $33 pot is either a monster hand or total air.

Because he didn't raise pf - I'd think he's not doing this with AK, AQ or AJ - thinking he's got a better kicker than you. So as you stated, I wouldn't put him on a naked ace either.

He's either floating you with position to take it away later, or HE'S got a monster.
On this board, I'd put him on 2 pair, a set or a str8.
You beat A3, 53 and 46 (if he's likely to float on a draw-which i doubt). You chop A5.

There's no FD out there so I'd be worried you're in trouble. Any card on the turn that's not an A or 5 is something you won't like.

I like the 50 re-pop because it really defines button's hand - which seems very strong.
Based on this, I'd be inclined to c/c the turn and river depending on bet sizes.

Him cold calling your flop raise is never a naked Ace from this player, so you can eliminate all of those. Is he limping his button with A10, AJ, AQ, AK? No. If he is then you should reevaluate your view of him. This is not a draw heavy board. His play is very strong

I'm praying I bink an A on the turn. Otherwise you're in big trouble here. Don't go broke in a limped pot

His range is 2p+ which you're not doing so great against. C/C turn, re-evaluate river based on bet sizing. If he's obviously trying to get stacks in here you can strongly consider folding imo

It took me 5 minutes or so but I was able to find a fold.

I think this type of play can be calling with any A. I think you guys are giving him top strong of a range.
