Flopped 3-kind

[Maulik]

I don't think this showdown is going to happen for cheap. I don't think I make a better hand fold here, ever.

I don't particularly like the minraise preflop, but not a big deal.

Flop action is fine.

Turn is fine too, since any other ace will probably call and you're ahead of most, plus you really aren't gonna get away from your hand with the stack he has left. If villain called the flop with a lower pair, he's probably stupid enough to call the rest of his stack off with it too (particularly if he reads the overbet for weakness)

pf is kinda funny. i dont mind getting all of my $$ in here against a shorty here at all...

[yvesaint]

dude of course you dont make a better hand fold, those better hands are 1st-3rd nuts

but there are a lot of worse hands out there too, plus hes short

easy

I think it is a big deal because it makes it much harder to get more money into the pot on later streets. A raise up to $2 allows for a bigger raise on the flop so that you can get the guy pot committed. Plus you have to think about the times you get action from people that aren't short stacked. You're costing yourself lots of money with your sucky lame min raise.

for the love of baby Jesus, don't min pfr. Flop bet is fine. I'll often check the turn and let him bluff at it river.
