I made a spur of the moment decision to make the drive to Foxwoods yesterday, since I had to drive my wife to work and was already partway there. Besides, I'm starting my new job on Monday and I should get to do whatever I want.
I sit in a new 5-10 game and the only two good players are sitting on my right and left. One is a high limit player who is there for kicks, and the guy on my left is loose-aggressive.
I get A-Jo in the CO. I raise after one weak limper. Button, the LAG, calls, as does the weak SB. 4 see the flop of Q-J-X rainbow. I bet, LAG raises me, which I knew was coming. In fact, I think I said as much out loud. He will do this with a wide range of hands. SB cold calls and looks sick to his stomach, other limper folds. I call.
The turn is another brick, and so was the river. I ended up calling down to see a suited queen with a weak kicker. I guess my question is, can you fold this hand on the flop when an aggressive player will raise you with many things? How about the turn? Or the river?
I hate calling hands down and losing. Nothing gets me more upset with myself at the table.
