I'd fold AQ in that spot. GL and keep em coming.

Probably a fold, what does UTG have behind?

That would be relevant eh? He started with just under 30K. So I'm guessing 25K.

I can let that go without tears...

how come? my first reaction is call, but i would like to know why i'm wrong ^_^

Now that I have reassurance...

UTG raised with a gigantic stack in the BB. UTG+1 pushes for 8BB or so. I can't call this. If UTG reraises all-in, now I'm in a pickle. If I push, I'm basically praying that I beat both of them. Losing to UTG will hit me hard. UTG's raise with me in the BB feels like a big hand that he'll go all the way with most of the time. Had UTG+1 not pushed, I would have called and seen a flop.

I am very sad. I got awesome cards for so long. Then I lost AJd v KQd which cut me to a little above average chips. Luckily for me...everyone at my table had more chips than me while the other table all had less than me. Awesome balancing. With 11 people left, I finally pushed in for 7BB in the SB with K3s. BB wakes up with AA.

I hate poker.

I thibnk you played it fine except for original flop bet. I start letting the other guy hang himself right away. There are no overcards than can hit on the run that you are afraid of if villain checks. And a over card can come to the board on the turn and get one of youtr opponents in trouble. And what if you opponent had kq that wasn't the flush draw? You would have let him off the hook by betting out as he could easily fold. Where by checking he may bluff or if he checks may hit a k or q on the turn or decide to bluff the turn because you had not bet beofore. Or same goes for bb. If your gonna [play it slow preflop why stop now? Your either way ahead and not too much can hurt you. Or you let the bb in with a 3 and your way behind(not likely but playing it slow throughout allows them to bluff and loses you the minmum if they had a 3.

No, you have to bet the flop. Otherwise, when the turn is a 4, BB decides his 6 is best and pushes to get you out of the hand you are going to hate yourself for folding.

Smoothcall · #20 07-18-2005, 11:26 PM

No i wouldn't be folding. The bb will probably not push with a full house on the turn. What would he be protecting it from? If he pushes i think its more likely he's betitng a worse hand than mine. You don't have to bet the flop and shouldn't. Its not a horrible mistake to bet the flop. And you should bet sometimes for variation but not because i'm afraid i'm gonna get played off the best hand. Its gonna be pretty hard to play me off AA here.
