You got the Bronze at least.

Without question push preflop. I know this seems like results oriented advice but it isn't.

One raiser and 2 callers means difficult isolation. You raised 1/3 of your stack anyway. Push and hope to get HU where AA belongs.

Oh yeah. And you lick Shrek's balls.

BigHobo · #5 09-07-2005, 05:11 PM

1. Yeah, that sucked pretty bad. Did you really think you were getting anyone out with that feeble pre-flop raise?

2. Raise to a minimum of 400 pre-flop.

Why the bloody hell do you want to "get anyone out" when you have AA? I hope my sarcasm detector is broken.

AA plays very well against multiple opponents, but there is no better money than dead money.

Still, if this is your worst play ever, you are doing fine IMO, Sam.

To be results oriented, you would have lost this hand if you would have pushed preflop too. Shortstack with 66 wasn't going away.

What's your point?? Pushing PF is the infinitely obvious choice here.

EDIT: Yes, we want 66 to call us. And yes, more often than not, the board will not bring a 6. All the more reason to push PF.

Was it really that difficult to understand exactly what I meant?

Yep. If this had been a multi, and the result had been different, you'd have looked like a genius.

I agree with others, though: shove pf.
