NL2/5 FR. AdKc vs an unknown on flop and turn
I open at LJ w AdKc to 20. Villain is unknown who just moved to our main game from must-move. He is an Asian between 45 and 50 and seems comfortable. I have never played with him before. His 605 is the effective. He cold calls next in. CO and BB call.
Flop(80): AsTsTd
I cbet 45 and the Villain raise to 140 and I hesitate and call.
Turn(360): Qh
I check and he bets 200 (with 245 behind) and I tank and ask the dealer by saying "Time...". The Villain responded "Take your time and make a wrong decision!"

Ouch. Not sure I c-bet this one. This really does need a table read of the Villain, but from my computer I fold the flop. I mean, he bet into three players...
As played, we now lose to AQ, too, so just fold.
Check flop, easy fold as played
Yeesh. Not loving it already on the flop. The SPR and his little speech would make me release on the turn, if I got that far.
I would check the flop sometimes. Notice that even tho the flop is two tone the As is out there, reducing the number of flush draws typical callers would have. And with the K you block Broadway draws or their outs.
So there is not a ton of equity denial to do. And if you want to get value from weak Aces there are two more streets to go where things won't change much.
As played I am prob folding the flop, then if I call, hating life on the turn.
