True, But calling preflop with those... (Except TT maybe AT) is doubtfull?

What do you mean by "Normal"? I.e. Poor?

I played it bad IMO, I was torn between his hand beating me... and taking advantage of a fairly nice hand expecting to win.

I doubted i would win though, hurt to click reraise [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

So when he 3-bet the flop he must have had at least Ax or been able to beat a set of A's.

On a paired ace flop like this I think it would often be 3-bet with any pocket pair over 8's.

When he then raises your turn bet, I suspect that he has 88, and when he caps your turn 3-bet (which I feel is a bit too strong), I am sure he must have 88.

When he raises the turn bet I give credit for an ace and am slowing down because there is now a very real possibility that you are behind or splitting. A 3-bet here is not unreasonable though. I would definitely check/call the river against a cap though.

All the PPs are going to call, IMO, and might crazygonuts on the flop thinking you're trying to bully them off. And I see players calling ace-anything under any circumstances all the time.

Edit: in fact, since there are already 3 players in in a raised pot, I can't imagine a "normal" (read: loose, but not necessarily "bad") micro player that wouldn't see the flop with one of these hands. Did you consider re-raising PF?

Granted, I play .5/1 and 1/2, not .05/.10, but I can't believe it gets any tighter down there [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

This limit (At my site) has plenty of lucky "fish" specially lately.. Huge influx of these.

However, I tried .25/.50 and theres alot more bluffing, LAGS, and less TAGS.

This limit seems to be "Raise with good hand" "Fit or fold" and lucky players hitting 10 to 1 gutshots.

I had the opponant on Ax and was 90% sure about that. So i felt i was ok to go to showdown thats for sure, Just wasnt sure if i wanted to make pot huge or not.

and i lost to the two reasonable hands i thought they would be holding [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ( AQ/AK)..

But then i said to myself "But no preflop raise?" however it seems passive play is the new aggressive play at my site.

Thanks guys.
