Misplaing Aces 101

[jah0550]

I got myself into this mess by not raising PF, but there was one maniac that has been raising almost every hand. Was this a good laydown or should I be shot for not pushing?

"If you limp with Aces you should never get broke with Aces"
Make your bet on the flop to see where your at. I don't like the check then the bet. If you find out some information on the flop, then you can get away from them.

However, I don't like the fact that your limping in with your stack. Raise it on up pF.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t50, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, BB checks.

&lt;&lt; Usually I'd raise. If you limp you've gotta be very careful. &gt;&gt;

Flop: (t200) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, MP2 checks.

&lt;&lt; Bet. Sure 2 jacks is scary, but it's scary for everyone else too. I'd say bet 150 here and see what happens.&gt;&gt;

Turn: (t200) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t75</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t150</font>, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls t75.

&lt;&lt; MP2 reads this 75 as really weak and just pops you back to see if you'll fold.&gt;&gt;

River: (t500) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets t525</font>, Hero folds.

&lt;&lt; I'm not saying I'd call because I wouldn't ever find myself in this situation, but I don't really see MP2 doing this with a hand that beats you. You played this really weakly and he is just pushing you out of the pot. I'm betting if you call you have the best hand.&gt;&gt;

Final Pot: t1025

Why not make a standard bet and hope someone raises so you can reraise all-in? Aces don't like company. You have to at least try to limit the field.
