I played a really big pot with ace high
 

Party NL400. Villain has been sort of active, but hasnt shown herself to be crazy or anything like that.

Folds to me in the SB (a little over 400 in my stack) I raise to 12, with AQo (black) BB calls.

flop (24): 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I bet 16 she calls.

Turn (56) 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I check, she bets 40 I call.

river (136) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I check she bets 100 I call.


Thoughts?

Why are you playing a big pot with A high against someone you said doesn't get out of line?

Why isn't this in the small stakes forum? That is unless you both have $800 or something, but you didn't mention that.

Preflop, raise more, I like raising the pot, or sticking to a standard 15 open raise in nl 400...no reason to raise less when out of position to induce a call by the big blind...

Flop ok

Turn, shutdown...check/fold, hope for free showdown

In nl 400 this seems the wrong way to go to beat the game...just cause you won this time, doesn't mean its profitable, and if people see you make borderline calls, they can make your life harsh.

This is fine

Sorry didn't know which forum to go to, im a stupid MTTer.

Re: I played a really big pot with ace high
 

I used to be one of those too. I like how you played it and I call the river as well if Id called the turn. I usually fold the turn though.

Re: I played a really big pot with ace high
 

I guess I'll add why I like it...a lot people call this flop with VERY little (even 2 just overs) since they think you didn't hit it. If they did have SOME sort of draw, nothing hit, except something like 9x[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], but there's a reasonable chance they don't value bet that much on river.

Oh, and if it changes anything, this was 6 max.
