Re: Going limp with aces
I normally don't like putting in maximum bets on the flop when a). There are numerous cards I don't want to see on the turn, and b). There's a chance I could be beaten already.
So I agree. If a club or a ten slide off, you're glad you didn't put that fourth bet in on the flop. If a blank falls, you're glad you didn't take L1 out of the lead, because now you can collect two big bets from each of them. As it was, you still collected one big bet from two players even though you caught a card you can't feel very good about. In short, I think you played it well. IMO-
btw- I'm way out on a limb in disagreeing with MM about how to play a flopped set from this position. Now I don't mind putting in maximum bets on the flop even on a two flushed board. For one thing, it covers for the times I might play a big flush draw the same way. And if a flush does turn, oh well... I still like my chances to fill up in what is now a very big pot that I helped build.
