if we count grammar, a lot [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] j/k

If we're talking play of the hand, you've said you raise ATo there in these games and it works, so I think it's pretty perfectly played. I think the turn call is correct.

I agree with the crowd that I don't like your preflop play. If these were 2 mid pos limpers and you were late position this play is fine, but when utg and utg+1 limp and you are next the play doesn't smell quite so sweet. Plenty of jokers limp utg with AJ and AQ, and in this case monsters. And of course you have many still to act behind you.
Postflop seems perfect to me. Sometimes being that guy who just calls and calls hoping to hit his gutter is actually correct.

A10 is a horrible hand after 2 limpers in this game.
Everything else is fine. The Aces called you a fool for playing the hand or drawing? lol

I think the preflop raise is fine and probably correct, depending on certain things:

- The limpers are not too tight (or they're tight, but weak-tight)
- Your table image is at least decent
- There are no exceptionally aggressive players between you and the Button.

If these three things are true - and they'll be true a lot of the time, especially if you're exercising good seat selection - I think not raising would be a mistake in an 8-handed game.

good point that most have missed, in that it's 8 and not 10 handed. 10 handed I'd have a problem with it, 8 I don't.

I can see where you are coming from here, but weak-tight players are the ones most likely to be limping with better aces up front.

So we wouldn't have an ace on flop more time than usually.

The aces called you a fool after they limp/reraised, then check/called every street? Nice.

I don't see any problem here other than not folding PF.
