Am I crazy?

[SeppDeitrich]

are you crazy.... yes you are. I see no point to your check raise on the turn after the flop was capped. you should bet out and call a raise then check call the river, unless he didn't raise the turn then you bet the river again.


edit: sorry i misread, the raiser is in last position, you're in first, the cr is fine.... i think...

[B Dids]

I fold this hand UTG.

The rest I like. Given that the CO was almost all in, putting him there is OK.

[SnakeRat]

Would you muck it even if there were 2 posters Dids?

[Saborion]

I fold ATo in EP.

I usually fold ATo UTG too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] because I don't think my postflop play is super all of the time, but if you play it I like the flop, the turn check-raise is kinda weird, but you kept up the aggression.

Nice ABC Poker.

pf.... it's a battle for the blinds and antes (TOP). The bigger the blinds and antes in the first round, the more loose/aggressive you should be. With 2 posters in the pot, I would also raise ATo UTG, whereas I would fold UTG with just the blinds. The 2 posters mean everything in this decision.

Once you have TPTK on the flop, you need to 3-bet it.

As for the c/r on the turn, I agree with it for one reason. CO is short stacked. You check, it will be checked to CO. CO will bet (hopefully in desperation), you raise to eliminate the other players and hope that CO is just shoving chips in the pot to make everyone fold.

Other than that, yes, I think you're crazy.

i think openraising with ATo at a full table is nuts.

However, i got to wondering whether the two posters change things; in for $1 each with random cards - an open raise forces people to call 2 cold, you should be ahead of the posters, Hmm. this calls for a higher power to comment.

After openraising, the flop is played nice and fast; these players could be raising straight draws or overcards, but they could equally have 32o for 2 pair.

After the flop cap, i would slow down. With the turn play, though, i guess a checkraise is nice to force out the Mid-Players. Again, i'm undecided, the check-call option isn't far wrong...

River bet seems fine.

I await comments on the openraise considering posters and the turn c/r given flop cap.

[Gravy (Gravy Smoothie)]

I would fold preflop. I would also check/call the turn and river and expect to be shown two pair or a set.
