Raise pre-flop with AA56, & get headsup is okay but not great.
On flop, you jam it when you're only getting your money back at best - terrible play. Nothing else of note for this hand.

Set of A's went to he.ll because it was weak pre-flop & overplayed post-flop. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Didn't seem like a bad flop to me with top set, and possible winning low.

What is wrong with the pre-flop play? You'd limp with this?

Anybody else go broke with this hand?

I think the money goes in on the flop here everytime.

I go broke with it too. I'm not sure why RedMarrion feels that AA with two low cards can be overplayed--ever--preflop, but it's an... interesting... perspective.

On that flop, you're nowhere near drawing dead to half the pot--a 3 or 4 will often counterfeit your opponent's low (as it would've here), giving you a scoop. The flush draw is problematic, but you hold the ace of suit, so it'ss only big danger if the nut low also has small hearts.

Sure, it's not an ideal board, but I'm willing to get all-in there.

Maybe he new that I'd get killed by a gutshot wheel on the turn. I wish I'd have known that in advance too.
