1/3 pot on the flop? /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Yah, I'm not going anywhere - all in on the turn works for me.

[bluefeet]

Perfect IMO. Small 'I have a piece' flop bet...smooth called, check-raised on the turn...a beautiful thing.

I might have led out on the turn with the two diamonds on board, but I'm a wuss.

B, I lost this hand to something else. But, I just want to be certain that this "smells" like aces often enough, or should I just let it go.

[Newt_Buggs]

I dont think that I'm folding this hand heads up unless it get counterfeited

[Phil Van Sexton]

Open limping from MP doesn't smell like aces. Based on the flop raise, I'd guess A7 or 88.

Given that you lost, maybe TT.

I should have clarified a bit... I don't necessarily agree that it smells like AA, but I think it's something you're ahead of most of the time. It could be Ax, where x=something on the flop. It could be 88-TT. It could be a poorly played JJ-AA. It could be a set. It could be a 5 or a flush draw, although I discount those a lot when he bets the turn. You're ahead of everything but the sets, so I like getting all my chips in on a safe turn.

The other problem I have is that after your weak flop bet, he could very well be trying to push you off a hand sensing weakness. We don't know because your flop bet looks weak and that is how some players will play a draw on this draw heavy board.

[lastchance]

You want him to push you off a hand. You have top two pair!!! You really don't want to fold this.

BTW, since a 5 or 3 or 8 sucks, I lead a bit more, and I reraise.

I think all your problems can be solved by reraising the flop and a willingness to go all the way with top two pair. Your opponents suck. Love them for letting you take their chips.

So you're saying that a limp from MP (as opposed to UTG) shouldn't ever **smell** like aces? Ok, I see.

Villain had 44 for a made set on the flop.

A limp on level 2 from an unknown 30/3 player doesn't have any smell, regardless of position. Are you getting paranoid?

[zambonidrivr]

i play this the same way.

I have seen A LOT of this lately (with KK too), but no, I'm not getting paranoid (I don't think). Anyway, I had put villain on an overpair.

In the end, I'm up against a worst hand here often enough for me to continue with this line, is the ultimate question of this post.

[45suited]

I go broke here every time. Bad luck, not bad play.
