El Chief called 500 and raised 1,880 and is All-in
LongTall folded.
Diese called 1,880

Showdown!
Board cards [3d Js 7c 8h 6d]
El Chief has High Card : King
Diese has Pair: Aces
Diese wins 5,760 with Pair: Aces


Here's a little info on the preflop raiser (LongTall):
-I've rarely seen him come into a pot preflop without raising
-He plays a lot of cards preflop and raises with a lot of things like A2s
-Pretty loose guy


My reasoning for just calling preflop (tell me how good this is):
-I know guys agressive, so I'm hoping he'll bet out at me on the flop
-I don't want to re-raise him and scare him off as I've been playing very tight up to this point (don't know if he noticed or not)
-I hoped no one else called and saw the flop (dumb risk to take with a hand like AA??)


So how'd I play this? I know I did fine on the flop, but how about preflop?

I just reraise, but you have a decent read on him (which turned out to be wrong but that's what happens sometimes). 4BB is still expensive for anyone else to come into the pot, and AA is pretty darn strong even with 3 players.

Plus, the guy that came in behind you gave you his stack with K high [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
