I know i have to play this different but i didn't want any garbage hands in....raising the pot is sooo standard on UB, but 0.45 didn't seem like enough.....

Why not? (Seriously try to answer that)

[boondockst]

afraid of 4 handed play....earlier i got a board of KKQ and the guy showed KQ....

[MarkL444]

And youd rather safely win .25 every time you get aces?

[boondockst]

i don't usually play it that way....i'm open for a suggestion as to checking or the exact size to raise in this situation.

[MarkL444]

About half of that.

You need to think in terms of long run expectation. Sure if you take less flops with AA you'll lose less HANDS. But you wont make nearly as much MONEY.

cause crap like this happens (sure it's isolated) and yes i
should have called the river bet (didn't want to punch my computer when he showed J2o, but shoulda called)

I'd say bad fold. You're getting 6:1 on your money. Bottom card is paired. If he hit his gutshot, he hit it, but I'm not giving up $17 that easily. I'd expect to see T9 or AT just as often, if not more so than a J or an 8.

Preflop- nice
Flop- nice
Turn- nice
River- terrible

[boondockst]

indeed, he said he tried saying he had 10 9 for two pair but i'm not sure i believe that..
