Party 5/10 AA: Tell me how I should've played

[tubalkain]

How would better players (e.g. you) have played this one? I'm thinking my getting insanely lucky was due to the fact that I should've folded on the flop. Thoughts?

I don't play 6-max but put 10 people in the hand and I'm playing it the same way. Nice hand.

Why would you ever think of folding this flop? Even if you're scared that MP may have 88 or TT, you need to see this hand down especially if your hand is not weakened by the turn. It would be tough to put your opponents on any draws unless they were very loose, because there really isnt any good draw except for J9 (are your opponents gonna play that this way?). The only way I would play it differently is on the river. I wouldnt cap, but call the 3-bet

If MP has a flush, more power to the guy. No way I'm not capping any street in this hand.

i always fold aa on T82 rainbow flops.

cap cap cap cap cap.

you played this fine. if he had a set and you sucked him out, big deal. what matters is you are playing very aggressive when you hit your set. now, its ok to slow down if you miss your set on the turn and he is still bet/raise happy.

are you sure you should be playing 5/10? why dont you drop down for a few hands /images/graemlins/smile.gif
