    Default Trip Aces on the flop with kicker trouble (BB hand)

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP2 (t9407)
    CO (t2879)
    Button (t5795)
    SB (t1371)
    Hero (t4957)
    UTG (t11190)
    UTG+1 (t2512)
    MP1 (t2128)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 3, A.
    UTG calls t200, 2 folds, MP2 calls t200, CO calls t200, 1 fold, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: (t1075) A, 4, A (5 players)

    It's checked to me on the flop in the BB, what do you do here?

    And what do you do if you check and an opponent bets or if you get raised?

    I would check and see what happens.

    If it goes bet/raise then I would probably fold.

    If there is a bet and then a couple of folds I probably call.

    This is the line I took with the hand.

    Is anyone betting out here? And if so, how much?

    There is only one ace left in the deck...

    Go for a check-raise and play it aggressive... At the same time you don't want to make small raises to make it worth chasing a flush draw...

    I lead out. Probably about $600. If you get called and turn is a blank I lead again if i'm HU. You want to make the draws pay. If anyone has an A then its probably also a weak ace. So you have a good chance of a split if some high cards come on the turn and river.
