Default 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.

River:

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.
