My biggest mistake was probably the weak bet preflop no?

well you were around a 50/50 when the money got in, and with the dead money in there, i would take that all day.

you make it seem like you made some terrible call against a set.

yes, you should have raised more preflop.
also, was the BB $1 or $.50? That is confusing in your post.

Yes well i thought i was up against a set, and i changed the bb to the correct amount of 1

Re: Can I Fold Aces Here?
 

Exactly, your mistake is the pre flop bet. In a cashgame, you have to raise between 6 and 8 time de BB so 6$ or 8$.

How is he 50-50 at this point? The villian is drawing to a ten or runners - clearly this is something more like 5-1 or better.

Hi Ansky,

I agree, a bigger raise preflop was necessary, especially out of position. Heck, out of position, I might make it 8 or 10, then all-in on the flop. I just hate messing around out of position like that. But, you were leading when the money went in, so you were still a winner on the hand, in the theoretical sense.
