Mr. Miller, don't look at this.

I folded A-A on the river for 1 bet. Should they have been folded earlier? Could I have done anything different here?

Why are you calling the turn raise just to fold on the river?

If you're going to fold, it should have been on the turn.

The turn call makes the river fold that much worse.

Looks an awful lot like he has a king. You still have to call this river.

I run into a surprising number of people on party micro's that will make a bluff check raise or just raise on the turn. Odd, since it never works, but there ya go.

If I call the turn I'm calling the river 100% of the time in the spot heads up. IMHO you only have to be correct a small percetage of the time for a call down to be correct play.

His play could be anything Kx A9 TT he may have slow played a set and came alive when the 2 flush hit the trun. This is just one of those hands.

Thanks guys. This has to rank as one of my all-time worst A-A hands. I knew it, posted it, and deserve some heat.

I agree here, the pot is pretty small on the turn. The river fold though- you are probbly beaten 90% of time.
