This is why I don't like raising AXs after limpers

Villain is typical for Poker Room skin: 52/10/1.8
Aggression numbers progressively get larger from the flop to river.

Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $140.25
Button: $94.00
Hero: $113.60
BB: $28.80

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is SB with A :spade: 9 :spade:
UTG calls, Button folds, Hero raises to $5, BB folds, UTG calls.

Flop: 8 :spade: A :heart: 7 :diamond: ($11, 2 players)
Hero bets $9, UTG calls.

Turn: T :heart: ($29, 2 players)
Hero ????

What is my plan now? c/f, c/c, b/f??

Against someone limping in 52% of the time I think A9s is good enough for a raise.

I wouldn't raise this from the SB. As played though, you have top pair and an OE straight draw, I bet.

Check.

check, because you can (look like) you are bluffing the river if you hit and like your hand enough to show it down on the river a lot.
Also, you cannot stand a raise if you bet despite the relative strength of your hand and its showdown value versus a fish

It's fine. Bet/fold turn. You're ahead a lot and definitely get called by worse.

Because there's value and he's not going to raise us off our hand unless we're beat. Checking is pretty bad imo.

Turn: T :heart: ($29, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $20, Hero ???

I didnt realize I had a OESD until after I checked.
I probably would have bet here if I wasnt 8-tabling 5max :oops:

So, now what... easy fold?

standard limp preflop and c/c turn>>>bet/fold. There arent three streets of value, we have significant equity no matter what he's got and if you check turn and make a solid bet on a blank river he's paying off with T9 and Ax for sure.

I think it's possible we get 3 streets of value from a 52/10 with A6->A2 here, but if we're only getting 2 then I want to take it now before a J,9,6 or 3rd heart falls. And T9/98/65 are always calling a turn bet but might check behind and fold to a river bet if they don't hit.
