Lost my stack with AA - comments?
 

Hi,

I think I played this hand reasonably well, but since I only recently stepped up from a lower buy-in table, I'd like others' comments. Thanks!

2-4 No limit, $300 buy-in at Foxwoods. I've been playing for about 40 minutes, have about $305. In LP, I'm dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Player two to my right (who has made a number of PF raises to 2 or 25 in the time I've been there) bumps it to 25. I reraise to 60. All fold, original raiser calls.

Flop:
4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

He checks, I bet $100, he check raises to put me all in for another $145. I decide my pot odds exceed the probability that he has a set and call.

He flips over:
A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

The turn comes:
8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

and the river:
2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

and I lose to the gutshot flush.

Any comments on how I played the hand?

He figured his TPTK to be good and was getting all his money in one way or the other. This is a pretty standard bad-beat. I hope you didn't leave the table.

Hand plays itself.

It could just easily have been you who backdoored a 4-flush.

Gutshot flushes are the worst!

I wish I could have stayed. I had the cash with me for another buy-in, but I felt a little too on tilt to stick it out. I guess I need to work on that.

Is it called a "gutshot flush" because it feels like you were shot in the gut when it happens?

You got all your money in while way ahead.

Nice hand.

Raise to 80 preflop

Re: Lost my stack with AA - comments?
 

I agree with reraising more preflop.

if you are going to be pot committed with your AA, then you should make it more preflop so that a flop push is about a pot sized bet.
