A potentially butchered hand from last night.
Should I raise flop?
Should the turn be seen as a scarecard that I should consider checking?
Is it a snap-call on turn or, multi-way, should I be taking a more cautious line?
UTG raise was a fairly tight but aggressive player, think their open was likely to be mid-premium pairs, big aces and maybe big suited connectors KQs / QJs. Didn't think there was any value in raising here for that reason.
That was part of the reason also behind my call on the flop - 4-way if they had JJ/QQ/KK they wouldn't be continuing with the flopped A - big aces would likely carry on betting any non scary turns and AA obviously crushes me (the only hand I think they'd go with if I raise)
Plus I get to maybe sneak a call from AJ/AQ type hands from the blinds, building a bit of a pot up if I am ahead.
Then when it's checked to me I figure the UTG to be a big pair that has been spooked by the A so throw in a position value-bet, again hoping the blinds have a reasonable ace to have called pre and flop.
Don't know SB at all.
BB is a multi-tabling reg I've played before when they've had some NL10 games in their mix. BB plays their hands very aggressively, I can't recall having called them down and seen many bluffs when playing at NL10, but are definitely going to have some in their range - although 4-way I don't think they would ever be the sort of player to have nothing here - semi-bluff hands like A9, T9, 89 are possible.

Even so, there are plenty of other combos that would be willing to Gii on the turn that you crush. Have to call turn, even if villain does show up with a J9 occasionally you still outs.
