Would any of you have played the A's differently from that position or was my play ok? We each started the hand with just over 6000 chips. Maybe an all in after the flop but I wanted to extract what I could, certainly wasn't afraid to be called. I wanted the all in so I guess it didn't matter how I got there.

Your problem is you got too much money in with AA on a A92,r flop. Please refer to my guide for the proper way to play AA.

If someone raises like that from 1st position, you've GOT to put them on a solid pair or high Ace at least.

This is exactly why your opponent made this play. Let's say your opponent puts you on AK or AA-TT. On a A92 board, where he holds KQ, you could hold KK-TT 12 ways and AK 6 ways. He has a fairly decent chance to pick up the pot with a raise, especially after you make a weak bet on the flop.

That does not mean your weak bet was wrong. In fact, it worked perfectly and induced a huge bluff with a big longshot. You just got unlucky.

Why only 2.5 times the bb?

I've been sucked out way too many times to slow play my aces in ANY position. I'm usually betting at least 4-5 times the big blind with that hand. Any reason why you bet this amount?

Re: How crooked is Party Poker? My two cents.
 

The short answer to the original post is this:

Your opponent hit a 20:1. It happens. 1 out of 20 times.

This is scared poker.

Why isn't this thread dead. It's really pointless.

it's not dead because people like you are keeping it alive.

People like me? You have no idea. The only reason I responded was because of the previous post which gave IMO really bad advice. People like me. Please.

I was kidding. I've been posting in this thread all day. I think it's hilarious.

My buddy flopped Quad Jacks against AA in the WPT in Tunica in January. He lost to a runner-runner Royal flush.

So I'm quite sure that the live games throghout the entire south are totally rigged.
