I limp pf. The flop is pretty drawy and limp/callers have a piece of this flop fairly often. I prob check behind more often than I cbet, but I don't mind a cbet.

standard type of action.

I like raising less preflop though. 80 pre and like then 120 on the flop.

Vers, you should raise pf, AQs plays about the same as AKo here.

I think it's a good board to check behind on because we pick up the NFD or a gutshot some of the time.

I like a check behind as well. With stacks behind being fairly deep behind and the drawy nature of the board, you could be easily c/red by a draw or floated on by a lot.

I like the raise pf. I think c-betting is close, I usually check this one but could see betting a flop like 6s9sTh.

I'm in the check behind camp. I guess we could fold out a small PP, but we can't take any heat and have 2 overs + backdoor draws so there isn't much reason to reopen the betting. I'm fine with your pf raise size as a slightly bigger raise (100 rather than 80) is fine when we have position and don't *have* to c-bet.

pf is good

flop texture is dangerous but if villain has a hand he sees it as dangerous enough to raise/fold to a cb. i don't see him c/c'ing and putting us in a tough spot should we hit a turn. this is going to be a 3-card hand. i like the cb.

im jumping along the checkwagon, as TFG says we can pick up alot of really strong turn cards and then turn that into a huge pot.

btw utg's range is heavy on the side of bad aces and baby pairs imo. AJ/KJ/QJ/JT/88/77 is out weighed by A2-A7/A8, 22-66, KQ/KT/QT. if he just calls we're against TT at best but most likely A8 or a gutshot with one live card to pair.

I limp here but I'm probably wrong. I don't think it's big either way. Bad board to c-bet.
