Can’t see anything other than raising being correct. Even if it weren’t a KO, I’d want to raise (what would your bluffing range be here, if not this exact hand?), and in a KO, where even if he doesn’t fold it’s a great spot for you… nom nom nom just a great spot to raise. I mean, you’d prefer a fold, but you are a favorite against an Ace! Just raise and pretend you have a set (and yes, you should raise here if you have a set).

How do you feel about a shove?

– UTG likely to fold either way.

– I could probably get some non-A-high flush draws and perhaps a few Ax to fold.

– I’d still be 190BB deep if V calls and I if I miss 

– I have almost nothing invested so I’d be getting just better than 1:1 and I’m guessing I’m a slight favorite?

After typing the above I made a resolution to get deeper into the real numbers. I’ve been playing cash games so long that most decisions I make are more often generalizations of odds. I want to get more sophisticated, ensure my old assumptions are accurate and improve my accuracy. I just downloaded PokerStove, so here is a raw paste of the results for feedback. I think I entered it right…? Do you think I should include hands like 44 or K2s and Q2s?

Board: 3h Ad 5h

	        equity              win           tie              pots won     pots tied
Hand 0: 	49.679%  	49.56% 	00.12% 	  53483 	      126.00   { AA, 55, 33, AKs, ATs-A7s, A2s, AKo, ATo-A2o }
Hand 1: 	50.321%  	50.20% 	00.12% 	  54175 	      126.00   { 6h4h }

P.S. Removing those slow-play hands at the top made almost no difference.
