Stupid fish indeed.

You should be happy though, not sad. Because you know their screennames.

Stop beating up on yourself, everyone makes mistakes from time to time.

If they're really bad, I think you can find a better spot to get your money in. I don't think you need to get into a raising war here.

I think somewhere in supersystem (this might have been in a different book, I don't remember), Doyle Brunson tells a story about getting into a raising war with a drunk when he had just a small edge. The drunk hit his flush and even though Brunson was a favorite, he lost all his money. The moral of the story was that against a really bad player you should wait until you know your edge is really big.

incorrect. I take all edges at 25NL. It's not like I'm playing with my whole bankroll in front of me.

Then you have to accept losing once in awhile when you're the favorite.

Hmmm, lets see...

I usually limp behind here at a full table. Short handed, this is standard.

SB raises to $2.65, BB calls $2.50, UTG calls $2.50, MP calls $2.50, Hero...

Let's see. SB says he has something good here. You don't mention any read. AQo versus a reraise sucks. Pokerstove AQo equity versus TT+/AJ+. My hunch is that you're looking in a number in the high 30's, and that's only because I threw in AJ. Still, you have position + excellent pot odds, so this is an easy call IMO.

This is really bad in my opion. I'm really not sure what you're doing here.

FWIW, my basic philosophy these days on preflop all ins (and this includes 6 max) is that, barring an unusual read, I absolutely will not go to the felt with anything less than KK preflop. This is not a tournament, this is not the WPT, and AQo is NOT a big enough hand to go broke with.

Figure out what your pot equity would be against any two reasonable Villains here, given their likely hand range.
