Re: Devastating 30 BB hand
 

Before I say anything, I just have to say people who play AQ/AK like you did this hand are the fish that 2+2 players thrive on. I'm not trying to condescend you, I'm just trying to give you the harsh truth. With that being said, fold the flop. Fold the turn. Good fold on the river.

I am getting 14-1 or better every time it comes to me... among those 6 aces and queens, you don't think I have a 50% chance to win if I hit one?

You are getting 14-1, this is true. There are three aces and three queens in the deck. Two of them are spades, so they might give another player a flush. Also, an A or Q could give two pair to someone who has A8 or QT. Furthermore, just because you raised preflop UTG does not mean someone cannot have flopped a set, which has you drawing dead.

Raising and being this aggressive with AQ/AK in a 7 player pot is asking for disaster. You were definetely spewing. Fold the flop.

Re: Devastating 30 BB hand
 

Why on earth are you still in this pot on the river? Even being in it on the turn is up for debate.

And btw, raising a flop donk to isolate when 7 people saw the flop works approximately never.

points well taken! this all fits with my gut reaction after I folded ("what the hell am I doing here"), but finding out MHWHBG just sent me spinning.

Re: Devastating 30 BB hand
 

I love these posts because I can learn from mall of your replies. whn I read this, I told myself that I most-likely would have folded after the flop, since I had only the two over cards. If I had better position, I would have called a one-bet, but that would have been the max. The turn would have definitely been a fold. Once I got to the river (which I can't see myself doing) I would have called a one-bet simply because of the pot odds associated. I'm new, so if anyone see's flaws herte, please let me know.

At first glance over the action, I was surprised to see you fold the river. Are you really losing 96.5% of the time here?

With 2 other players calling the river, yes he is losing 100% of the time here.

Where did the SB go? He vanished after calling the turn.

Re: Devastating 30 BB hand
 

Your turn raise is terrible and you should be leaning towards a fold with no clean outs.

I'd much rather have a gutshot here than two overs.

How can one raise the turn with A high??? This is spewing.
