Don't think KK or AA are in his range here or AKss either given pre flop. If you're in his position and a competent reg leads out into a 5 way pot and you have AQ are you really raising here?

just show the result bro we know he had 55

Yeah I reviewed the preflop action, and I guess you're right about AA/KK/AKs not being in his range. Sorry I hadn't paid enough attention to how PF went.

But then that also means QQ isn't there either.

On that board there's not a lot of combo draws, except maybe 43ss, and don't think he's raising with it. Not even sure its part of his flatting range pre.

That leaves us with 55....

So maybe you're right. Although in play and on that board, I have a hard time finding a fold (probably like you). But it may be one afterall.

this thinking is so 2008 and so wrong.

We beat semi bluff flush draw hands and position plays, as well as strongly played pairs that he's hoping you'll fold to.

Competent reg feeling froggy and going with a 3rd level read easily can make this play. Plus doesn't your sizing possibly seem weak to him and HIS sizing seem big and like it's designed to make you want to go away?

Maybe I'm over thinking this, IDK.

55 is definitely in his range, but not weighted so heavily that it necessitates folding. Not even close IMO

Some good posts here with alot of differing opinions. Most people here seem to think it's a continue in some way and I agree folding now would be abit on the nitty side but maybe vs some opponents they can just only have other sets here so maybe this decision is just villain dependent.

Will continue on with the hand now.

Hero Calls.
Turn 8 ($208) Hero X, BTN bets $148 Action on Hero.

I hope you called with a plan for if a spade came OTT. What was your plan for if a spade didn't come? Check? Then what?

I really hate a call OTF of his raise TBH. Seems passive and like you're just stumbling through the hand, especially given your thoughts so far. No offense.

If you called because you thought you were ahead you should most always instead A) go over top of his $84 to protect against flush cards and extract value from weaker hands or maybe B) call with a read that indicates a slow play is best and with no intention of folding future streets unless it goes spade/spade and the board doesn't pair.

I guess I'm saying it sounds like you didn't have much of a thought process beyond level 1 recognition of your strong hand and called purely for that reason.

c/c flop vs HJ and BT, c/r vs any other

I'm not a fan of the call either OTF unless hero has a clear plan. I much prefer raise or the occasionnal hero fold followed by never telling anyone.

Just x'shove the flop, any other line looks too strong
