What do you do with this situation?

First scenario...

You have AsJs ;

Flop is KsTo5s ;



You just check, there are at least 3 pplayers in the pot, and some one raises pot size!

a) Fold
b) Call
c) Reraise 2/3 times of the raiser.
d) Go all in.




Second scenario...

You have AsKs ;

Flop is JsTo5s ;



You just check, there are at least 3 players in the pot, and some one raises pot size!

a) Fold
b) Call
c) Reraise 2/3 times of the raiser.
d) Go all in.




Third scenario...

You have AsKs ;

Flop is 7s9o5s ;



You just check, there are at least 3 players in the pot, and some one raises pot size!

a) Fold
b) Call
c) Reraise 2/3 times of the raiser.
d) Go all in.

"s" means same suited.

"o" means other (not) suited.

Also I would be glad to see someone (a mod) adds additional "do" to the header .

Done and done. Have fun with your "survey".

We need a lot more details to make a clear decision, but if it's against a random player I'm raising and trying to get them to fold, but not too disappointed if they call. We want to use our fold equity and raise.

[OTTOMAN POKER]

Lets say, at least one player has a top pair.

You should be more specific.. what's your position in the hand?
What's the stack size/pot ratio? What happened preflop? Any read on opponents?

My guess is (we're palying micro limits, right?), that there was at least a raise preflop, and now you're stuck with 3 random guys. A pot sized raise means it's already around 26bb in the pot, 13bb to call, leaving you with around 84bb if you call.

If there was a raise preflop, you'll have a lot of broadways and pocket pairs in your opponents range. I would expect someone check-raising/reraising sets or two pairs, or at least calling with all kind of draws. It would also mean that if you hit an A, it might be no good.

So yeah, I would call hoping to induce others to play their draws. If you hit it on the turn, a 3/4 pot bet is enough to put a deepstack all-in. If not, well.. depends on position, player reads, etc..

I made this long detailed post because I don't think there's ever enough fold equity at the micro stakes, on a draw heavy board vs three players that could justify a raise. Anyone willing to prove me wrong?

There doesn't need to be that much (or any) fold equity since in all 3 of these hands we'll be basically a coinflip against their all-in range.
