Early AA misplayed?
Was dealt AA first hand of a 20+2. I think I may have made two mistakes on the same hand…
1- Raise of T80 was not significant enough to have anyone fold and I would probably prefer to be heads-up with another strong hand when the flop comes. 2- When re-raising the pot to with an all-in, did I in fact only allowed better hands to call me? At the time it seemed a good idea to try sucking in a weaker hand (AJ, AT, KJ,…) but in retrospect, it might not be the case… CO (t800) Hero (t800) SB (t800) BB (t800) UTG (t800) UTG+1 (t800) UTG+2 (t800) MP1 (t800) MP2 (t800) MP3 (t800) Preflop: Hero is Button with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] , A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] . 4 folds, MP2 calls 15, 2 folds, Hero raises to t80, SB calls, BB calls, MP2 calls. Flop: (t70) 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players) SB checks, BB checks, MP2 bets t80, Hero bets t775 (all-in)… Thanks! |

Raise more pf. 80 gives low pairs odds to call. After that a push is ok 95% of the time.

IMO, this is a not too well disguised bad beat post.

Re: Early AA misplayed?
I can't say you played this hand very poorly at all. You could have raised more pre-flop but a raise of 80 with one limper seems OK. I would still think I have the best hand on the flop and probably try to raise such that AJ and KJ would call. Either way, all of my chips are in the middle.

Re: Early AA misplayed?
Thank you for the answers.
I was wondering at first if a 2/3 pot size bet (250 or so) would be ok/better post flop. If you would then be re-raised all-in you would have the option to fold and keep some 470 chips. I would think that once raised all-in it's basically a coin flip given the range of hands that would push (AJ, AT, QQ, KJ vs JJ, TT, AJ). Then you are putting 470 into a 1,290 pot. |

Re: Early AA misplayed?
I think the raise preflop was fine. I don't think I move all in on the flop raise. I make it 300. This let's him know I'm serious. His bet on that flop could be a pair of Jacks with a good kicker (good for you) or two pair or a set (very bad for you). If he calls your bet, and checks the turn he is probably folding when you bet.
If he comes over the top all in, then I would probably fold this early in the tournament. |

Re: Early AA misplayed?
The question you want to ask post flop is "why is MP betting into me after I made it 80 to go pre flop?". Once you figure out if he's testing the waters vs. trapping you, the other questions you posed get a lot more relevant.
