You should always max your 401K since the gov't is paying for a chunk and your employer may match (free money). The 401K max I thought was $12K+ now so you are technically not maxed out...

Re: Textbook hand protection?

Looks ok to me. If MP2 will never raise the river without a hand, but call with an unimproved ace I'd think about betting it.

Re: cap this flop with my aces?

I might consider calling the threebet and hoping to be bet into on the turn so I could raise. This looks fine though.

Re: WTF - Anyone else not see this?

Since you didn't bet the turn, does anybody threebet it? Flush draw plus outs to trips or two pair sounds like a lot of equity to me with three players in for a bet. In this case it looks like maybe...

Re: yes I know I have trip A\'s am I outthinking myself?

I reraise the turn here. When villain has an ace, you get action. With a draw you want his money while he's still drawing, because he won't pay you off once he's missed. Only with an opponent making...

I feel like an idiot for missing the split pot on Ax. Course it just fuels my argument for a check-call line.

Re: Let\'s talk about river bets

What calls here when you bet that you have beat? Weak aces? Anything else? I don't think there's much betting here either, so I think this is pretty much a wash, though I'd lean towards checking.
