I am just wondering what would you do with this... so here is story... I was BB and had A9, had 3 or 4 limpers, and I checked, flop comes out 9QA rainbow, and UTG shoves, evryone fold, and action is on me? I realy want to know your honest opinion, what would you do?
------------ By the way this is his first hand at the table...

yeah will snap call too here, he might have AK, playing it aggressively or he might have QQ which is unlikely as he would have raised pre flop, he could have KK and so on, also weaker Axs, so yeah instant call, everybody thinks like this, so you will be putting your money as a favorite, he would not have any draw and so on, also this board and with your cards it will be hard to make them pay unless they spazz so learning how to play this hand is gold!

As I see you all think like me... I spend almoust all time bank thinking if he got AA,QQ why the hell he limped, so I didnt put him on that (althought I've seen a lot of limpers with AA), same was with AK and AQ why the hell he would limp with those cards expecialy on UTG O.o so I thought in worst case he can get 99... and I was thinking that he either had 99, or he is open ended, or he got AK,or maybe he got week ace, which is all good exept 99, and I was doubting that he got AQ... so I called, and he got AQ suited... he won this pot, and I was stuned... limping on UTG with AQ suited O.o but after that I sow him limping a lot with strong hands like AK and AQ, and raising preflop out of position with KT off and simular, min raising when he got top pair... so I figured him out and start to took mine chips back, and I took from him back something, but then other player busted him out... And few hands after that, I manage to triple up with nut flush and made myself good profit...
Yeah it's hard to fold there since only hands that should raise pre flop have you beat. Only thing you can learn from this hand is that sometimes, in the right spot, donks can be dangerous
I tend to think people who call too much are donks (conservative type of donk), but actually they're most likely just new to the game and have no idea how profitable it is to be in control of pots in the long run.

Hi man, what a question is this? Of course it is a little bit depending on, if this is cash game or the very early stages of a slow played tournament or sit and go, but I would most likely call that all in in all ot these circumstances!
