Thanks everyone for the comprehensive input on this hand.

Any guesses what MP1 held? I have since found out the answer.

On the turn, I'm check-calling, never folding, and likely re-buying.

I don't see much value in jamming, since button is either way ahead or folding with air. Let him fire again if the latter.

This feels like QQ from MP1. I wouldn't rule AJ out either.

MP is holding AA.

I'm going with AK or AQ. Big hand, flops a straight draw, folds when river brick misses.

He folded to the turn bet.

Late to the party.

Preflop I don’t like the situation this deep and I just fold.

Flop we can get sticky we have TP/TK and backdoors. I can’t think of a clearer check/call.

Turn we pick up some equity so we can check/call again. Our hand feels too good to donk bluff here.

MP has lots of hands that take the line. If I had to hazard a guess...KQ with no heart.

@Donvito and @chipjoker you see this analysis?

 

[Donvito]

@Shaggy and @chipjoker I can't even remember I'm dealing during the game!!!! LOL I don't even remember this hand.

MP is holding AA.

ding... ding... ding... we have a winner.

Wow, sucks from button's perspective not to get paid by that hand.

 

[Shaggy]

Sucks from MP1s perspective. I can surely see why he folded with three to a suit on the board. Total illustration why you need to be aggressive with AA preflop. Granted had he raised pre with his AA he would’ve been stacked by buttons set.

Interesting thread. Agree with most that the premise was getting involved with AJ off to start with. Just too hard to really make a winning hand against multiple players. I get the "see the flop" then fold crowd. But this is exactly the kind of flop that crushes A J. You just have no idea if its really good or not.
