Monsters Under the Bed
For some reason I convinced myself that the only A that limps here is AJ. Giving my opponents too much credit? This is how it needs to be played? (and yeah, ususally I flod AQ UTG early on, but I was sorta bored here)
Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter MP3 (t800) CO (t1010) Button (t770) SB (t770) BB (t890) Hero (t800) UTG+1 (t800) UTG+2 (t785) MP1 (t575) MP2 (t800) Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero calls t15, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP3 calls t15, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, BB checks. Flop: (t60) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB folds, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t60</font>, MP3 calls t60, BB calls t60. Turn: (t240) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t240</font>, MP3 calls t240, BB folds. River: (t720) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero is all-in, Other guy calls Final Pot: something big, converter messed up (1600ish) By the way, didn't realize this was PL till like 9 hands later when reraising all-in with KK wasn't working. While I'm typing, any advice as far as bubble play where you can't push? |

Re: Monsters Under the Bed
AQ UTG full handed in level 1 is pretty close but I don't fold here very often unless the table looks ridiculously loose. Once you turn the trips I am getting all my chips in at a t800 tournament.

Re: Monsters Under the Bed
Had you not limped yourself you wouldn't have been guessing which aces were limping behind you. I think the line is alright; if you get caught behind a full house then tough luck.

Re: Monsters Under the Bed
I would rather check on the turn to induce a bluff from worse hands. You're gonna get action from the other aces anyway, you're just making hands like a pair of Jacks muck.
I'm actually more worried about 666AA then I am about AK or AJ here. So, flop bet good, turn check-call, river check-call if he bet turn, lead if he checked behind. |

Re: Monsters Under the Bed
Is it just me or is it necessary to put the villian on the case Ace?

Re: Monsters Under the Bed
I'll let others with more experience debate AQo in EP. If I play it I raise it. At the river I think you have him out kicked or you are toast. At the 11's they will play any A and go for any draw. I would have bet 1/2 pot on the turn but I don't see anything wrong with a pot-size bet. I would check the river and let him make a bluff at me if he missed his draw. So many at the 11's will push/bluff the river when they miss. Just my 2 cents. I'm learning also.

[/ QUOTE ] On the flop and turn you also have to consider things like (in rough order) flush draw, 66 (jacks tend to raise preflop), 2 pair (j6), other pocket pair, and the random call. With the river call I think you are down to Ax and 66/88. I would not be surprised to see any ace here. |
