blinds are 5 and 10

3rd seat raises to 60

everyone folds.

yoolykeme calls

flop comes a, 10, 6, off-suit

3rd seat checks

yoolykeme bets 100

3rd seat raises to 300

3rd seat cheks blind

turn comes 7

yoolykeme goes all-in

3rd seat calls

should i have either put him on AA pre-flop, or should i just not have been in the hand to begin with...

ive been playing for about 6 years, and for some reason, this is bothering me....

thx

Calling a 6x BB raise with A10 is just bad poker. Unless you knew from previous plays this guys raises meant nothing.

Hey, welcome to the forums!

First off, you'll have better luck if you post in a specific forum, ie) small stakes no limit for NL hands, or B&M for live games, etc.

As for the hand(and take this for what it's worth as I play mainly limit and generally suck at NL)

Fold preflop. From my understanding playing NL against that type of raise you are in a clear raise-or-fold situation.

However, assuming you don't fold, it's absurd to put a guy on AA preflop for a 6x BB raise, which may or may not be common but certainly can't give you that specific information.

I'll likely checkraise this flop - the problem is since I hit the board so hard I'm doing my best to get all-in, which is why I fold this pf, because I can't tell AA from AK here.

good luck.

Since you called preflop, I should also point out that after the flop I would have a hard time laying this hand down.

Was this at the Trump casino?

[goofball]

I agree with everyone else. Fold preflop. Once you've seen the flop I don't think i can get away from this hand.

[jojobinks]

your hand is a perfect example of why calling raises with weak hands is troublesome, especially in NL. as everyone else said, top two is a monster; but that flop is the reason why you don't call in the first place.

[EStreet20]

Definitely fold preflop. In essence you trapped yourself here.

it was at harrahs/resorts

Early position raises have to be respected, unless you know for sure this is a player that would raise with anything other than premium hands. And since it was the first hand delt in the tourney... Ax are tricky cards. I play them if the they are suited, late position, no early raiser, questionable on middle position raiser, depending on the player. It can be used to stop a player from stealing the button and the blinds. An of course to steal the blinds yourself although have to be ready to throw them away if reraised by somebody that realizes this.
