Ok, I got involved in the following hand last night. I weighed the pros and cons of calling as follows.

Pros
====
- MP2 as well as CO are donkies, both having shown willingness to double people up lightly.
- MP2 as well as CO are big stacked and opening a lot of hands, my A9o might very well be the best hand already.
- I need to make a move, although I prefer aggression obviously, this might be a better spot.
- Great odds PF.

Cons
====
- Yuck dominated hand OOP.
- Need to stack off when an A flops for sure, but wont have any idea if it's good.
- MP2/CO both have a wide range, wont be easy to read post flop.

I felt restealing would get at least one of them to call and get me a flip at best, from watching both of them in previous hands, I don't feel I have a ton of FE here with a squeeze.

So, what do you think about the PF play, am I missing things there? Secondly, is the ensuing post flop action standard?

Thanks!

Hero checks, MP2 bets t24000, CO folds, Hero ?

if i play this hand i shove it preflop and i disagree in not having FE if you push 60k over the top.

as played im calling him down and use his aggression against him. there is a good chance he will bet this board again with air or weaker aces. no way i fold top pair there.

Odds pre are not great and your hand is garbage.

I think with your reads both folding and shipping are good.

You surely have a good amount of FE and fold out a lot of flips and maybe AT, AJ, you never know.
