PokerStars 0.10/0.20 Hold'em (7 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A.
3 folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero raises, BB calls, CO calls, Button calls.

Flop: (8 SB) 6, 8, 3 (4 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, CO calls, Button calls, Hero...

Well, not much of a roar, but as much as was available:
BB is 31/2/1.2 with no relevant notes
CO is 38/4.8/0.8, saw him coldcall with A7s in MP
BT is 88/0/0.5 so he'll be calling with ATC

I almost--almost--disregard the calling stations and I'm not convinced that BB has me beaten so my choice is between calling and reraising. I have only 2 outs against a set and 5 against 2pr, but I don't know which ones don't turn 2pr into a boat. Still, when I say I'm not convinced there's a big element of wishful thinking since I can't really see him raising me with one pair.

We have to at least call down. A lot of players won't 3bet with hands like 99-JJ preflop out of the blinds, but will raise the flop when they have that weakish overpair.

I think i just call the flop here. BB could have a lot of things ( a set, two pair, 99-KK, an 8, a 6, 97, 75) but you're beating most of them. 3betting just gives away that you have a big pair and you want the cold callers to stay in if they're drawing dead (or almost dead) to overcards.

On the turn, I lead out on anything above a 9. This makes it look like you've just made top pair and you get information from this - if BB has two pair or a set he'll raise and if he has 8x he'll probably just call you down. Even if he does raise you should probably call down.

If the turn comes low, just check and call, unless it gets really crazy. If you're stuck with just the BB on the river, lead out every time and fold to a raise.
