Default Another AKo situation.

UTG is a complete unknown. I had a feeling he had a monster and that his flop bet of less than half the pot was just to try and tempt a call. How should I play this from here?

Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
5 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with
UTG calls, Hero raises to $0.5, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls, UTG raises to $0.9, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: ($3.6, 4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets $1.5, Hero ?????

You should fold. What are you hoping to accomplish by calling or raising? Anyone with an overpair is calling which means you have to catch an A, K or two running hearts to make a flush. If someone already has a set you are screwed. Raising almost certainly wont do any good here since you have 3 opponents and at least one of them is sure to have an overpair. You are only .90 invested in the hand so IMO this is an easy fold.

4 people saw this flop and you have missed totally. Very standard fold as played preflop.
Your preflop play may be up for debate - did you have any idea on how the opponent was playing?

I was 4-tabling and my PT only has 7 hands for him so I guess he just sat down, I didn't notice. I was debating reraising him, since effectively I was the button but as I didn't have a read on him I thought I'd call and see if I hit anything.

I think this is a huge mistake in this situation against 3 opponents 1 of which 3bet you preflop and the other two which called the 3bet.

I did fold the flop. Just trying to get a feeling of the right kind of line with this big hand. Seems like I'm not doing too badly.

This Nl .5/.10 As far as Im concered we should expect every 3bet from a unknown to be a super strong hand so I think you should call and get all your money on a Ace or King high flop, what bothers me here is that you are asking what to do on the flop?
