Did I do something wrong with this hand? How else could you play it? I just started playing the limit tables after starting at NL, and I am finding it hard to play high pocket pairs. Thanks.

Heres a hand I hand

Hero dealt AA
Hero raises, some call
Flop - doesnt matter
Hero bets, some call
Turn - ummm
Hero bets, some call
Flop - something that probably doesnt help anyone or maybe something that can
Hero bets, someone raises. Player calls

Hero either wins or loses to some silly suckout

In short, not much to discuss on 99% of the AA hands posted.
Your AA was no different.

Constructive criticism... What specific part of the hand vexed you so much that it warranted a post?

thesharpie · #6 06-08-2005, 10:08 PM

I play it the same.

Don't post results.

On the AA hand. Does anyone consider laying this down on the river when hero has been raised and then the raise was called by another player? On a 3 flush board, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that at least one of these players has made the flush?

Getting 14-1 I don't think we can lay this down without reads.

With the button just calling the whole way down, I have to assume he has the flush at least, and even if someone is getting cute with a 4 you are behind. I probably fold this, but i am not happy about it.

No other way to play this until river. And even though you get raised and button calls, I still make a crying call here. Not that I think you'll be good here often, but I have a hard time laying down aces.
