Re: AQ UTG
Raise this preflop. Otherwise, it looks pretty standard. SB was probably checkraising with two clubs, and MP1 looks like he was smooth calling with a king all along, but the pot's too big to fold.
If MP1's loose-passive and I know it, I might be able to fold here, but I feel like my hand is good 10%. Either that or it's one of those +sanity, -EV calls. I hate those. Rob |

Re: AQ UTG
bernie. I realize no raise preflop is a mistake but I don't believe it had an effect on how the hand played out. Do you think I would have been given more credit for king if I had raised preflop?

Re: AQ UTG
what you do preflop will have a lot of bearing on what happens postflop. all hands really begin at the beginning and are built from there.

[/ QUOTE ] It could have gotten MP out. Or it could've charged the hell out of him preflop for seeing the flop with a lesser hand. The hand tends to play easier if raised preflop. One of the benefits of aggression. SB likely has a wimpy A. If MP has a K, he didn't exactly play it that well postflop. He may not have one and is bluffing on the end with a busted flush. OR he couldve smoothed good hand preflop and flopped a monster. I'd call the river for info. There are other reasons to raise AQo UTG. Not knowing the results, if someone had a K, you may have been doomed to lose the hand anyways. That will happen and it's beyond your control. What is within your control is how much you make/save between when the cards are dealt and showdown regardless of who the pot is pushed to. b |

[/ QUOTE ] Yes. If you were sitting there with two clubs, somebody raised PF, and then came out betting on this board, it would look pretty scary, no? |

[/ QUOTE ] If you see this is a mistake then why do you do it? When I read the preflop play I thought, hmm table seems a bit tightish I wonder if he raised if he could have been heads up or have stolen the blinds? You see AQo is a nice hand and all but if you just steal the blinds with it, that's a heck of a deal. The better part of an hours work to be exact. |

Re: AQ UTG
I fold KJo to a raise, but limp (or raise depending on the situation) if it hasn't been raised.
A raise sometimes folds hands like KQ, KJ, KT |

Re: AQ UTG
I don't disagree with what anyone has said. I have a preflop raise % over 9 so not raising AQ UTG is not my standard play. It was a mistake but I thought the river play was of more interest.
It looked to me that sb missed his draw so I lead the betting even though I was not sure I was ahead. Do most posters lead this river? After getting raised I wished I hadn't bet. Felt I had to call the raise. Is this another mistake on the end? |
