Hand vs. the Kid with Green Hair
Villain in this hand is ExitOnly from last night's 45k. I find these hands vs other 2+2ers quite interesting. How well/bad did we play it?

Re: Hand vs. the Kid with Green Hair
I like preflop and the flop a lot. Your stack size seems good for slowplaying AA here. If you had slightly more or much less, I'd raise. Flop raise is pretty obvious.
Why no turn bet? |

Re: Hand vs. the Kid with Green Hair
This is an odd line, but I like it anyway until the part where you didn't CR the river.

Re: Hand vs. the Kid with Green Hair
Not sure what to say... I hate the whole hand personally. I think I raise PF rather than giving the BB 3:1 on his call. That may kill some of your action here, but I'd rather play HU here than let the BB tag along cheaply.
This flop is perfect for you though, I would smooth call rather than raise here and plan on CRing the turn. I wouldn't be afraid of a free card here for sure. On the river, you need to either lead or CR, check calling here seems super weak/tight. I can't think of any hand that a reasonable player would raise with here except 88 that you're behind. -Rizen |

Re: Hand vs. the Kid with Green Hair
I think like the prflop play by you, but I would not check raise on the flop. I would call the flop and lead or CR the turn. If you only call the flop then you can get him to call a turn bet or if you check raise him there you would have gotten more of his chips. By check-raising him on the flop you made him slow down too much.

Re: Hand vs. the Kid with Green Hair
I can see smooth calling if you are in the BB and already HU, but don't much like it here. Re-pop pre-flop. (I love saying that.)
Flop: Very nice. The raise will often be construed as a "Where am I?" bet, and is less unnerving than a call. Turn: What was your plan here if he bets? (Just curious.) River: Raise it up! t4k feels about right. |
