This was about a week ago, so I don't remember the three hands that folded, but they didn't have what looked to be relevant hands.
The five players who matter
1) (**) 2c
me (AsQh)Ac
3) (**)Ad
4) (**)9s
5) (**)Kh
2 brings it in, I complete. Ad, relatively tight player raises, 9s calls, Kh calls. Ad not tricky enough for high flush raise, so I put her on AA, KK, or QQ. I re-raise and Ad re-re-raises. 9s and Kh both call, deuce folds. At this point I know she has AA, and I am pretty sure that 9s and Kh both have paired their door-cards. (They are pretty loose callers). With one raise left I take it. I'm not sure if that's really advisable, as both my pair are dead. Everyone calls.
4th street,
me (AsQh)AcQs
3) (**)AdQd
4) (**)9s5c
5) (**)Khkd
Kings bet, being about 95% sure I'm facing trips, I fold. AdQd calls. 9s5c folds. I don't exactly remember the rest of the cards, but it ends up having a kings full of nines beating broadway.
My questions are, should I have put in the two raises. I am pretty comfortable with the first and second ones, as I would like to narrow down the field, but I knew the third one would cause no-one to fold, and is it a worthwhile value bet when both of my Aces look dead? Thoughts are appreciated.
