Strategy
I am in the cutoff. Main villain open limps UTG +1, two more limpers. I have A10 offsuit and raise to £15. Folds around to the villain, he calls, and the other limpers fold. Heads up to the flop with £37 in the middle.
Flop is Ah, Ac, 6h. (I do not hold a heart.) Villain checks and I check behind.
Turn is the Qh. Villain bets out £17, about half pot, very quickly. I call.
River is an offsuit 4. He checks. Hero?
