These are the problems caused by limping in with A3. You have no idea if your Ace is good and your opponants could have anything.

If he had reraised pre then I would be worried bout a higher ace but it's more the straight that I thought he might be drawing to which would make any decent ace behind aswell 

jonjo75

If he had a straight he has to have 9 10 or K 10. So unless they were both hearts aswell (knowing the player I think they would have raised these hands) I cant see them calling the flop bet.
Just raise pre or fold. Limping is the worst of the 3 options.

I no the limp is such a bad play especially with A raggy ace like that this is what the tail end of an all day session does to me lol so you would check back the river I pressume?

As played if this is the start of an MTT I would prob check back and play it safe and call myself a **** for missing out on some value .
