Put to the test
No great reads, but unusually for a $10 MTT qualifier the betting has been fairly conservative. Any pointers on the preflop or postflop call? The pre flop mini-riase & postflop check raise smelt of AA....

Re: Put to the test
There was a time when I would at least min-raise any hand I wanted to play - just to knock out the blinds. I don't start sniffing AA when I see that this early. I know what I do in this situation - I go all-in. I put one guy on the flush draw, the other on AT and I go all-in. However, when QQ-AA flip up (or A3s, I guess, but it always seems to be QQ-AA), I say something like "I'm such a fish" and I ashamedly leave the table knowing that I should have folded. Yes, this is a fold - the evidence is there, now you just have to have the discipline to do what is right.

Re: Put to the test
"Betting has been conservative up to this point."
We have a bet, a check min-raise into 2 opponents AND an overcall. You know JJ isn't good. To me this isn't even close. You should be thankful you were able to obtain so much information by 2 monsters pu**y-footing around with each other. Pep. |

Re: Put to the test
I should, as you say, have gone all in (or folded) calling was a terrible decision - I think if I had taken the time to work through it and put each player on an appropriate range of hands I would have realised I had the pot odds/implied odds to go all in. I still have a lot to learn. The hand panned out as follows, once again aggression pays off:
