Default Re: Am I a Donkey?

Is this pot limit? How can he push all-in for $50 on the flop? If you're just starting 08, why are you playing so high? What was the preflop action? Did he re-raise the pot? Or re-re-raise? Then, yes, you can put him on Aces.

Otherwise, you have a good hand. Normally it should be played. We have to look at the range of hands your opponent might have:

I went to cardplayer.com and typed in your hands, disregarding flushes. If you give him two aces and say a 6 and a jack (a pretty sucky two ace hand), you are favored on the flop by 54% to 46%. Give him a 3 with a backdoor flush draw and you still are favored by 51% to 49%.

Give him AA23 both suited (for runner-runner flushes) and you are 33% to 67% dog.

Give him KKJT (unsuited) and , interestingly, you are 53% to 47% favorite.

Since you are a favorite unless he has the dream hand AA23 suited for the flop, you should call on the flop. Going all-in is a mistake (but perhaps not if you're short-stacked, if you had more money it would be). If the board pairs high on the turn, you can fold.
