Standard situation

breadmonkey

UTG+1 limps. He is an idiot, we are still on level 1 and he has been open pushing from EP since he lost about 1/3 of his stack to me on the 2nd hand. He hasn't limped yet so I'm not sure what he has. He hasn't actually shown down any of his mad open pushes.

Button limps. I'm pretty sure he's just limping because he's on the button. Probably a picture card.

I am in the SB with A6o. I complete and the BB checks.

Stacks:
Me:3000
UTG+1: 1300
Button:2000
BB:2000

Flop KTAr

There is a good chance I have the best hand. What's the plan?

If you think you are ahead and that utg+1 will push then check, let him push and call if button folds. If button calls you have no business there imho.

the likelihood of your 6 kicker being in front is unlikely, and you cant call a push from it. (i qualify that by saying unless you think the player will push without an Ace which is unlikely as so few hands have been played) depending on how you rate the others in the pot you could bet out about the size of the pot and reevaluate the turn if called, fold to a raise. personally i check fold...it may be weak but its early on with a raggy ace on a dangerous flop no need to get heavily involved...

I don't think UTG+1 will push. That seems to be his preflop strategy.

EDIT: Actually, he open pushed aa flop of AQ8r with KQ. I still don't think he will push because he would have done so already with an A

out of curiosity what do you do if the BB bets and the UTG+1 pushes, and button folds?

As you said, A6 has no interest of being in there. I was posting a method for a push from loose guy. If he only pushed preflop then this is different. Personally I would either check fold or bet fold if raised in this situation without an aggro player in the pot.

If BB or button are interested in this pot then it's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from him. Do you feel BreadMonkey that him limping like that as opposde to pushing which he has done regularly is suspicious?

Anyways, I am off to the Fitz. Day day.

It's definitely wierd but I honestly think he would push with the likes of TT, JJ+ in the hopes that hed get a call. (preflop)

yeha i thought the same.... good enough...

How much are the blinds? First level, so they are 10/20? or 25/50? Most likely I bet the pot here. If everyone goes all in then I fold, otherwise I reevaluate when it comes back to me next.
