How to play Aces like a jerk
Not a bad beat story. A story about the importance of aggression, with Freerollin' starring as the lead idiot.
NL $100, FTP.
I have $117, covering both villians, who are mediocre.
Lead Donkey: MP2, A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Folds to Lead Donkey, raises to $3.75
Both Villains (SB&BB) call
Flop (~$11.25)
3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
SB bets $5
BB raises to $10
Lead Donkey thinks to himself, "Uh oh, he's got a 7. I'm dead. I better just call."
Lead Donkey calls $10.
SB folds.
Lead Donkey should have said "There's a very tiny chance that either of them have a seven. I need to raise to $50. If they come over the top, I'll get stacked with this hand because I really think that SB has two overcards and BB has an overpair.
Turn: (~$36)

BB bets $20
Lead Donkey says I'm behind, but I'm calling.
Lead Donkey calls $20.
Lead Donkey should have folded or pushed, but for some reason, he played this hand like a coward.

BB bets $25
Lead Donkey knows he lost, but calls.
Moral of the story: If you want to win, play aggressively. Don't be a donkey.
