Incorrect push with AA?

[jnalpak]

Very early in tourny, 2nd level of SnG. The table was very passive so utg+1 wasnt very appetizing with AA. I thought my raise was enough to get some callers in the pot but not scare them away, is that my first mistake? What should my pre-flop bet have been? Would you have pushed the flop?

PS, whats the correct way to use the hand "converter"??

You didn't push, you called an all-in. These are different things.

Preflop seemed alright for what you were trying to do. It is probabbly too early to be pushing preflop although if this is a 10+1 you're likely to get a caller anyway. However the small raise did increase the chances of someone out-flopping you.

The flop call looks ok, there are not many hands you are behind right now and you are ahead of top pair trying to defend against flush draws.


I'm guessing you lost to K6 or something? - beware of posting bad beats.


PS: How did you make the handconverter do that!?

[jnalpak]

yeah i did get beat to J3 of HEARTS

the converter has a link next to the orginal link and you can add your hand in there.
