Please check my line: AA UTG
Last night, 20+2 tourney. This is the second hand after the second break, I am 60 out of 155 with a 10300 stack, blinds 300-600 with 50 ante. Average is right around 10000.
I raise to 1900, and I get 4 callers. Flop comes 8-2-8 rainbow. I'm just wondering how others play this hand at this point in time, considering this is about the safest flop possible for rockets. In other words, do you check looking to extraxt from say, an AK bluff or another PP, or do you just push right into the pot? Thanks! Brad |

Re: Please check my line: AA UTG
are the blinds in or are you first to act? either way, i'd check. there's a lot of value in letting someone make a pair, and no one has more than 2 outs. any marginal 66-type hand that might call a push will likely bet.

I don't know .. i've typically been really against checking in EP after raising preflop (with the intentions on trapping) beccause i always feel like it looks more suspicious than if i just bet.
maybe a weak lead.. make the table think your AK missed and you arent smart enouogh to not continuation into 4 people. |

Does everybody think that this hand should be played on the assumption that nobody has an 8?

Re: Please check my line: AA UTG
How could you read an 8 based on either preflop action or flop action for that matter? Check, have someone bet, then someone else push and the last person before you call (not even sure of what our position is at the moment).

Re: Please check my line: AA UTG
with the PFR, I doubt anyone is holding an 8 unless it is 88. If I lose to quads here, so be it.
I would bet around a quarter of the pot here. |

Re: Please check my line: AA UTG
from what you know now (That they called a 3x raise froM UTG) they shouldn't have one... you can deecide from future action and see if someone maybe stuck around with 89s or something.

Re: Please check my line: AA UTG
You're too short to get away from the hand with aces on that board.
Pushing is fine. Check-raising/calling all-in is fine. Minbetting is fine. The only way to really misplay your hand is to fold. |

Re: Please check my line: AA UTG
Not that this makes the 8 likely enough to worry about, but with most people having M of around 7, the first and possibly second callers could conceivably have something like A8. No?

Re: Please check my line: AA UTG
not A8.. the second and last callers could be with 89s or 78s...
those hands play much better into multipay pots than A8s. |
