I was playing a cool tilting guy yesterday who was pushing every hand preflop, and I busted him three times over about a minute on two tables. That probably didn't help his mood.

As far as this hand, it depends on the opponents.

This happened to me 3 times today. Out of position with QQ or KK everyone limps to me in BB and I raise to $4. Called by 3 players, flop comes Axx and I have little choice but to check/fold. Damn A anything players sometimes get on my nerves. I dont see any other play working right there as I led out for 3/4 pot once and got called again. Seems Im the only one that can fold A5o in the $25s

[edge]

I almost always bet an A-high flop if I raise preflop.

I wonder... if you're going to push the flop even with overcards; perhaps you'd be better just open pushing? You might get less callers and increase your chance you hand holding up?

Though lets face it... a raise to $3 at a .25bb should be respected.

[Caruso329]

Results.. Villain had KJo. Debated a long time before calling, but nonetheless called.

[kurto]

That is really annoying. When I see that crap happen, I always wonder if the people have any idea what a terrible call they're making and that, even if they hit, could likely have kicker problems?

I know that if people didn't call a raise when it wasn't a good idea.... no one would ever win much.

"Debated a long time before calling, but nonetheless called." You mean before betting? Your post has you open-betting.

[Caruso329]

No, he debated a long time before calling. Waited until he almost ran out of time. And instead of reloading and taking his money in better situations I left and found another table.

[TrailofTears]

Oh, this is the worst part. Wait for AK and play the hand the exact same way, open-pushing a flop like that when you connect beautifully.
