This is perfect. You want as many people pushing preflop as possible here; 1 is lucky, 2 is fantastic. Don't whine about this; you lost but this is clearly a profitable play in the long run.

i know its great to have the callers, and im very pissed about the loss cause this is on top of my BR being almost depleted over the past few days (long story).

I just wanted to see if you thought it was clear that i had AA before the flop...because he called with JJ, and the other with QKo, when i thought it was obvious i had AA and those hands should have been folded.

You got all your money in preflop with AA. What's the problem?

bort411 · #5 05-23-2005, 03:06 AM

I don't follow your concerns. Why would you want people to know you have aces and should fold when dominated? As far as putting you on a hand, it's pretty clear that you have aces or kings after your second raise.

PikeTannenbaum · #6 05-23-2005, 03:16 AM

i just think that if someone were holding JJ, or QKo, they should have folded instead of calling when they KNEW they were dominated...then both catching good hands and beating me.

just a little frustrated, tahts all

CO sucks.

they should have folded, but you want them calling. thats how you make money. by capitalizing off of their mistakes.

this post is results oriented- if you flop quads, there's no post. don't let the fact that JJ spiked a set make you feel that you made a mistake in getting all-in preflop with aces.

frustrating? it is. but don't let frustration cloud your judgement.

This is a fantastic situation. Two people all in pf when you have AA is magic stuff.

If you had 1, you'd have 80% chance to double up.
With 2, you have 64% chance to triple up

I know you know this, but it's good to see the numbers sometimes.

If you wanted to travel into the future to see what they had, you should have... then you wouldn't have lost... you could have mucked.

But last time this happened to me.... I had AA, 1st all-in had QQ second had AQs. We had all of each others outs, so I won about $250. You can't predict the future, so at that time you did the best thing possible.

If one of them had 22 and the other 33 would you still be complaining??
