AA and the table explodes

[peterchi]

No reads since I just posted, although MP1 and MP2 both have reasonable but slightly loose stats from prior play (25/7ish range).

Final Pot: 27.16 BB


The pot is so big; I can't fold this, can I?

Did I misplay any part?

I'd wait for the turn to pop it, other than that you played it well.

Edit: Maybe 3 betting is correct even though we're giving them like 10 to 1 since we might make some incorrectly fold.

[Harv72b]

The pot is already too big to worry about hand protection vs. any of the hands Hero would like to fold. So we're basically into the realm of get your bets in there to define your hand &amp; hope it's still good.

Nice hand.

[lufbradolly]

I think you played the hand fine.

I don't think you can wait till the turn because the flop is to coordinated.

The pot is defo to big to fold.

God point, we'd be offering them ~10 to 1 on the turn anyway. Getting value and incorrectly folding them on the flop is best now. You might even allow a 2 outer or BD draw to make a mistake by 3 betting the flop. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I think this hand is fine. When MP1 Check-Raise 3-bets the turn I think you can go into call-down mode. He might have flopped a set of 9s, or is overplaying KK. Hope for the Ks, but don't be too surprised if you lose this one.

Since MP1 cold-called pre-flop, I can't really put him on an overpair, and I think I have to put him on a set here. Even still, I'm getting great odds on my two outer!

And then I figured I had to make a crying call on the river for just one more bet, since my head is going in the oven if I fold the winner in this 1 million BB pot.
