A not very interesting AA hand
Opponents are decent but not great. I don't like the way I played it. I think I need to 3bet the flop or CR the turn. I lean towards 3betting the flop. I think by calling the flop bet I had decided to CR the turn, but then I decided I really didn't want to risk having the turn checked thru. It's the SB's flop raise cold-call that has me concerned he might be drawing.

Yep, I don't do things like that out of position. Just 3 bet the fool.

Re: A not very interesting AA hand
Button probably has something like KQ, QJ, or AQ

Re: A not very interesting AA hand
in a small pot, check raise the turn
in a big pot, 3-bet the flop that's my take at least. |

Re: A not very interesting AA hand
I would three-bet the flop here and then lead the turn. Since you did not I think you need to go for the turn check-raise.
All the best. Colgin |

When I first read this hand, I was thinking call the flop and check-raise the turn because of the number of players left seeing the turn and my position to the flop raiser. I have no great logic behind this, it's just what I've been doing. |

Re: A not very interesting AA hand
to steal Ed's line, say Bill Gates threw a million dollars into the pot. you go for a check-raise. it gets checked through. uh oh [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
in a small pot, if the fucker wants to take a free card, I'm not happy, but it was worth trying to squeeze out the extra bet. |

Re: A not very interesting AA hand
Does Ed (or anyone else) give a guideline as to what defines a big pot? I would consider this big once the flop raise gets back to me.
I just got the book yesterday and haven't read it yet. |
