An AA hand at party skins 20/40
MP3 is unknown to me but has solid TAG stats and is also playing in the 50 and 100 games, that's what I knew. UTG+1 is very very bad, loose passive.
Call or raise on the turn? I assume flop is standard.

I don't raise the flop. You want to get to the river cheap if you can and you don't want to get into a raising war with a hand that has you drawing dead.
So I would just call the turn also. |

I dont like investing a lot of money on the flop when I know there are several cards that can hit the turn that will make me instafold. Also If I raised the turn and I was reraised, I would fold against a sane player, and If i was just called I would check the river unimproved. Given the way you played the hand you must raise the turn to protect your hand the times it is good. If you were just one on one, I would call down instead of raising. |

Re: An AA hand at party skins 20/40
Hey Westley,
I pretty much agree with your thoughts in retrospect, I really need to raise this turn to protect my hand from the third player, it looks like MP3 is worried I'll take a free card with a big club, as it doesn't seem like he'd play a monster this way. I didn't consider coldcalling the flop at the time, maybe I should have. -DeathDonkey |

Re: An AA hand at party skins 20/40
I cold-call the flop. Raise the turn if it's a brick. Your RIO are pretty bad and you don't have much equity in a five-way pot. Actually, if the flop were just a little bit worse (say, 876c instead of 864c), your equity would actually be LESS than that of a random hand:
1,215,471 games 6.089 secs 199,617 games/sec Board: 8c 7c 6c Dead: equity (%) win (%) / tie (%) Hand 1: 19.1923 % [ 00.19 00.01 ] { AsAh } Hand 2: 20.2163 % [ 00.19 00.02 ] { random } Hand 3: 20.2290 % [ 00.19 00.02 ] { random } Hand 4: 20.1915 % [ 00.19 00.02 ] { random } Hand 5: 20.1709 % [ 00.19 00.02 ] { random } So yeah, cold-call the flop and raise a non-scary turn (and fold to a 3-bet). |

i think 3betting the flop is vital to try and drive some players out. your equity isnt great but its better when you eliminate hands with outs. after the turn i think just calling is necessary.

[/ QUOTE ] You still have to raise the turn. The first guy might fold any non-A club for 2 cold on the big street, and the poster could easily have something like red K8 that didn't want to give a free card (and will call down on a blank river). This really looks like a situation where the poster has an ok/mediocre made hand and the other guy has overcards with a club. |

Re: An AA hand at party skins 20/40
sure there are advantages to raising, but you didnt touch on the disadvantages. what do you do when 3 bet and based on your decision how do you think that relates to just calling instead and why?

Re: An AA hand at party skins 20/40

If UTG+1 check/3-bets the turn, I insta-muck. If UTG+1 cold-calls and the poster 3-bets I'd probably fold but depending on my feel/read at the time, I might call the 3-bet and call the river if it's a non-club that pairs the board or the non-club ace. If UTG+1 folds and the poster 3-bets, I call and decide on the river when it comes. I don't think getting 3-bet should be a huge concern here though. If UTG+1 3-bets, you're drawing dead. If the poster 3-bets when it's 3-way, you might still be live to a raggy two pair, but your probably drawing dead, and can fold absent some sort of read. If the poster 3-bets heads up, it can make for a slightly uncomfortable situation, but you managed to get rid of UTG+1's flush draw. I don't think any of this matters much though because I think you'll get 3-bet very rarely here. The VAST majority of the time, UTG+1 either coldcalls or folds and the poster calls. If the river is a blank, they'll check to you, you bet, UTG+1 folds and the poster crying calls. |
