Villain is 64/7... facing his 3bet OTF and the fact that he limped, I cannot put him on AJ+. However, a two pair like A5 is something I think of. also 23. I just felt my A is not real good and I had to fold.

PokerStars - €0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 88.5 BB
CO: 142.5 BB
BTN: 106 BB
Hero (SB): 220 BB
BB: 100 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♥ T♠

fold, CO calls 1 BB, fold, Hero calls 0.5 BB, BB checks

Flop: (3 BB, 3 players) 4♣ 9♦ A♣
Hero bets 4 BB, fold, CO raises to 15 BB, Hero calls 11 BB

Turn: (33 BB, 2 players) 5♥
Hero checks, CO bets 31 BB, fold

You have to raise pre-flop.

Witht his flop you check the flop and call down villain likely over 3 streets depending on bet sizing and if he barrels through a flush completion etc.
This is because he will have difficulty putting you on a ace with a good kicker, so may bet weaker aces or bluff it. Even if he has you beat this may be the least expensive route.

If you bet like this you will likely have to give up the flop. Calling puts you into precisely this position, you goto expect villain to put a good bet in on any non flush turn. So if you decide to call his raise on the flop with hand that cannot improve apart from a 3 outer, you goto decide if you want to call the turn as well and have a plan. If you do not want that you can give up flop.

I play on GGpoker even though it says Pokerstars. None of my hand histories will have villain stats.
