Aces Under Fire

The players were both over 50% vpip, but it seemed as i was playing them they were more on the passive side post-flop. I called the flop because i knew the shortstack would call and i hoped it would be checked down.

uh, you can't call the flop and then not put in your last $29 on the turn in a pot this big. it's criminal.

i fold the flop against passive players.

Why call the flop then fold to a card that could not possibly improve anyones hand ? If u are in this hand the flop call into a fold makes no sence.

I'd imagine that QJ is theflop. least powerful hand you're going to see here. Fold the flop. You're probably stuck between the best hand and the best draw.

You're smarter than me. Shortstack showed KK and SB AQ, I folded the best hand getting two to one. I should've either pushed with a minimal amount of FE on the flop or called the flop and called the turn, in hopes to beat an overplayed tptk. I thought I'd just play bad for a hand or two.
