Live Game hand

[IowaSkinsFan]

I have about 6.60 in a $10 buy in game.
5 handed.
I have ATo on the button
stacks are moderate, villan has about $16.
table as a whole is somewhat loose, villan is somewhat loose aggro, most of the table is easy to read, im way better than all of them.

I have reads on this player but i will not tell them for my own purpses.

everyone limps and i raise 5x BB to a $1, 10/20 cent blinds.
everyone folds but somewhat loose guy UTG.

Flop comes 854 rainbow, pot is 2.40. Villan bets 1.20, i call.
next card is a 6, pot is around 5, villan puts me all in for about 3.40, I call.

How'd i do?

I probably just stick it all-in on the flop if I'm not folding.

yeah i was thinking i should've done that.

You are confident in Ace high I guess.

I don’t get it. What do you think he has that doesn’t beat you? Board has a 4,5,6, and an 8, any of which could be in your opponents hand as Ax. Even if he hasn’t hit he could hold any PP or AK, AQ, AJ all of which beat you. Why bet the farm on A high?

[Fnord]

Why bet the farm on A high?

Because it's a pretty small farm.

Folding is fine too.

[IowaSkinsFan]

The reason I don't think he has 86547, any of those cards, is because he went all in on the turn. I was wondering if you would need the reads i had to make this play, and i guess you may. He was a guy who'd bluff by betting increasing increments of bets. I had this exact read on him so it was an easy call. I was just wondering without that read if you'd do the same.

[Fnord]

You had a read and went with it. Ni Han sir.

[sejje]

Without a read, no, that line is retarded.

You label him loose UTG, meaning he could hold a card that paired on the board, or a seven.

You can't beat a goddamn thing here without a read. Even any non-pair hand that I can fathom betting here.

That being said, I've made calls with worse holdings, with a good read.

For what it's worth. Lets say he plays 50% of his hands...
