Brain fart with bullets
Hand was played by my opponent we'll do it from his persepective as a kind of devil's advocate.
I'm in MP with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Bunky (with a stack of 320) I have 180 and he just went to the felt with AK an orbit ago with only TPTK (What a dork). makes it 7 to go UTG. I just smooth call to trap his butt good. Everyone else folds. Why??? Flop comes K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Bunky checks, I bet 15. Lets see if he'll call. He does, and pretty quickly too. He's drawing. I'll blast him on the turn. Turn J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Bunky bets 50 into me. Why did he bet now? He cant have the flush. He's probably got AK again. He's mine. All in. Bunky beats me into the pot with a call. Rut roh. Bunky flips J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Well I have 1 out at least. How'd I do? |

Re: Brain fart with bullets
Not so well. Smooth calling a pre-flop raise with AA is a tricky business. Basically, you gift-wrapped a bunch of chances to outdraw you before attempting to pop him.
AA is not a monster. When you reach the turn unimproved and see a big bet you should be nervous. Why not wait for a real trapping hand to take down poor Bunky? You know he's itchin to give you his money. |

Not very well at all. "Limp with Aces, go broke with Aces" If he thought the Aces were ahead after the flop, then make a bigger bet to really discourage a draw to a big spade. Without the Ace of spades he definitely does not want to see the turn.

I'll just reload and specifically gun for him. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: Brain fart with bullets
Well to go along with the whole devil's advocate thing, I think he played the Aces poorly. I tend to continue to play the hand slowly if I slowplayed pre-flop. I would have checked behind you and see what you do next. If I have the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] then I will bet. Otherwise, I'm trying to play a very small pot. I can't win much from any hand I have beat except for maybe A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K and even then they could draw to a flush.
Now I have some questions Bunky for how you played your J-J. Mainly what was your thought process was in check calling on the flop? What did you intend to do if you hadn't picked up another J? |

Re: Brain fart with bullets
I actually thought my draw was live. My check call on the flop was reasonable. He could and would fire with less to ry to take a stab at the pot, in fact he had a hand that was disguised by his smooth call preflop.
If I didnt pick up the Jake, I check and see how much he bets and determine where he's at from there. |
