Please feel free to critique this as you see fit. This is by far the most amazing NL hand I could have conceived of being involved in at this point in my play. Be as harsh as you want -- I don't think anything will make me feel bad about this.

SB ($73.35)
BB ($16.15)
UTG ($55.75)
Hero ($27.85)

fold preflop

Yeah...that was a really bad call PF.

it was a bad preflop call, but it's a lot better than the call by AA and KK.

True, true.

you should never slowplay big pairs to trap?

Or are you referring to the flop calls?

You mean trap yourself? I can see the UTG player limping in with the intent of re-raising (especially if it's an agressive table), but there's no reason UTG shouldn't have re-raised when button raised to $3. You're getting all of the button's stack in pre-flop.

While AA doesn't mind as many callers as possible, I think it needs to get in all the money as a favorite.

I played this hand back for my roommate, and he pretty much said the same thing - "How was this not all-in pre-flop, at least two ways?" I should not have been let into this pot. It was the end of the session. My other two tables were closed. The auto post blind button was unchecked. I wanted to play this hand just to play since I already had a good session. There is no way I should have been let into this flop. If it's re-raised, there's no way I get in.

Haven't read through everyone else's responses, yet, but I'm sure some are conveying the same message that I'm thinking... "DON'T get into the habit of calling pre-flop raises with 10/8"!!! Although you came out ahead in this hand, calling a pre-flop raise with this hand (and such short stacks) is -EV over the long run.

I remember when I had 65o and played UTG because it was my last hand of the session. A few callers, flop came Q55. I bet and was called. Turn came an A. I bet, someone raised, I called all in. River came a blank, and he flipped over A5o. I was owned.

Since then I don't play the last hand of a session anymore.
