Playing Poker A-x Suited – Marginal Flop
Suppose you've called an elephant's early-position raise with and then three other players call, including the big blind. The flop comes down and the big blind bets out and the elephant calls.
What do you think, and what do you do? I wouldn't raise, because I figure that there is an excellent chance that the big blind has me beaten, and with five players in the pot, what are the chances that I have the best hand? But calling and folding are reasonable options.
I would lean toward calling, but with two other people behind you and the big blind leading out, I could also make a pretty reasonable case for folding your hand right there. What did the elephant, the original raiser, call the one bet with on this flop? It seems pretty likely that he has A-Q, A-K, or K-Q, all of which would give him a straight draw. The reasons why I lean toward calling a bet on the flop in this situation are these:
1. You may have the best hand.
2. There are already six big bets in this pot.
3. Calling will cost only one more small bet, and perhaps both opponents behind you will fold their hands.
4. You may hit an ace or a ten on fourth street and wind up winning this pot because you called that one bet on the flop.
5. It's possible that everyone will check the rest of the way (no one will bet on fourth street or the river) and that you win the pot because you called one small bet on the flop. (Don't hold your breath hoping for this to happen!)

Playing Poker A-x Suited – Ok Flop
Suppose you've called an elephant's early position raise with on the button. The big blind calls the raise as well,
and the flop comes down ~[S• Now the big blind bets out
and the jackal raises. What do you do? Read, read, and read your opponents. If it were my hand and if I didn't have a read on my opponents, I would reraise (make it three bets) to find out where I am, especially given that the raiser was a jackal. Your opponents need to have an overpair or three jacks to have your two pair beaten at this point in the hand. They may have the three jacks, or they may have 6-7 or K-6 or a smaller pair or a flush draw.
Raise it in this spot, unless you have a strong feeling that you're beaten, in which case fold.
