Re: Overplayed Aces?
If I was villian, there aren't that many hands I would call with that you beat. The one possibility is AK. I wouldn't call with a draw or KQ, KJ or A10. After that, it's two pair/set combinations where you're a dog. My question is: why did you go all in? Did you believe you were ahead and wanted to take the pot down at that moment? Did you put villian on AK and thought he'd call? Where you worried about the draw? If it's any of the three, your all in is reasonable although some would prefer to maximize value. I tend to err on the side of caution with AA since overpair is a sucker hand in a lot of scenarios. Which gets back to my question. Why did you go all in? If you were trying to guage your opponent's strength, going all in is a kamikaze way of finding out. Also, were affected by the previous hand/a little trigger happy?
