Hi all,
you must consider when rating this hand that i have suffered from a horrible losing streak last week and now I am rebuilding my bankroll carefully. But with carefully I dont mean that I want to play scared poker like I did in this hand. I did not have very good reads on ATo man, I only knew he raised with many substandard hands, thats why i not only feared AA but also the possibility of A9, A5, A6, 55, 66...
But still, should I have capped this on all streets?

[csuf_gambler]

if you werent willing to cap the flop then why did you check raise the turn?

i would have capped the flop and open betted on the turn

I would have folded this hand pre-flop from early position.

That said, I think you are played too weakly throughout the rest of the hand. Given that you said CO is LAG (well, you said he raises many sub-standard hands, which amounts to the same thing) and that the flop hit you over the head, you're almost guaranteed to be ahead at that point: cram more money into the pot, the turn and river are pretty much blanks, so raise away -- if you win then great, if not don't worry about it, it happens.

It does sound like you are tilting a little, I know it is tempting to begin playing weakly after a long losing session, it would probably be best to walk away for a while and come back when you are feeling more confident in yourself.

Limp is fine, and I guess your non-cap c/r on the turn is cute. But you seem to have messed up on your attempt for the trifecta. You'll fine the raise button of the bottom of the screen.

Funny how you contridict yourself. You say you want to rebuild carefully, yet A2s has an EV of 0.0 That means you need very good post flop play. Given that.

Surprised you called preflop, when (A) you slow play bottom 2 pair (you will lose money to this in the long run and/or not make as much money as you need to make this a winning hand by enough).

Bet out on the flop, a strong ace will raise you (at least this guy with his mere AT). Cap the flop, bet the turn, bet away unless he's willing to push you very hard back on flop and turn.

Such on flop as you bet, raise, 3 bet, he caps, then I would call down.

If it went bet, raise, 3 bet, call, I'd bet to the river then.

Preflop: I guess the limp is ok here. Probably a pretty loose game at this level.

Flop: Check-raise is okay here, but I would definitely cap it and lead out at the turn.

Turn: Another check-raise? Nobody at the table probably noticed it. Fire away here. CO is showing a lot of strength, do you have a read on him? Does he push top pair/top kicker (or good kicker) this hard? Since you got the check-raise in, go ahead and cap it here and lead out on the river. If you get raised on the river by the cutoff, might be a good idea to call it down.

River: Bet out. If you had capped the turn and CO called, I might call the cutoffs raise here, if he does, but if you just called the 3 bet on the turn and led out on the river, I would go ahead and three bet the river if CO raises you here.

There is no "standard" ev for a particular hand. It depends on the player and the situation. If you are thinking of the Pokerroom stats they aren't really relevant considering all the bad players that analysis includes.

I would have frold pre flop UTG. Cold calling a raise with A2 UTG? But then again, micro-limits can pay u off.

Cold-calling a raise from UTG is pretty impossible since UTG is first to act. /images/graemlins/confused.gif
