Hey could you please reconvert the hand using 2+2 as the format.

[MortenTA]

hmm.. a bit hard to read because of the wrong HH format.

Did you limp preflop? If so - thats bad. Players at these stakes call too much. Exploit that by raising preflop.

Your flop bet is huge - your betting almost 3 times the pot. Just make a pot sized bet denying him odds of drawing.

I think I would just bet out on turn again but its really hard to say because of your line preflop and on the flop.

[CaucasianAsian29]

Confused about preflop action but it looks like you diden't raise and you really should have raised. Your flop line looks silly w/ that big overbet(that's why we raise pf).

You should have raise PF 4xbb + 1 per limper then pot the flop

[Dans Full]

at this level I never slow play a hand preflop. Once you have limited the players that see a flop, and if you improve should you slowplay..by limping you are letting anyone in, and you will have no idea if your ahead unless you flop a set.

Flop: ($1.25)

This means you just limped, hoping for a re-raise. I never, ever limp with aces, I lose to an ugly two pair, sets, see 3-flush flops and all sorts of bad things when I do. I think it's the poker gods doing their thing, and I respect them more for it.


Slowplaying aces can lead to making the annoying quotes:

I hate poker.
How could you call with that? (the calling done on flop or later might have been correct, but in your bitterness over losing with AA, you forget)
F*&amp;%^% Donk!

Have to raise, have to have to.

Fixed it!

[Justaguy33]

any comments now?

[wake_up]

It's not a terrible line but if you're going to check the turn, I'd just C/C and then probably same again on the river.

[Wu36]

Stackadonk would be a lot better on a blank turn imo. This turn completed the only real draw and also gave a lot of 1 pair hands additional gutshot outs. I think bet/fold is probably better here.

[ronitonline]

Did he have J10?

[wdead]

bet full pot on flop c/c turn c/f river.

On flop I want to get my money in.
On turn I want to keep pot small.
If he bets when I check the river I am scared.

[pokerchap]

the turn i just b/f. not really sure what type of hand would call your AI. can't picture KJ or anything like that calling. Bad AI

[Justaguy33]

So bad all in is consesus?

Results were I couldn't make sense of his pot bet if he had 10J so that is why I did it. I thought I was ahead. He had qj mhisg. Results aside you guys think I played this poorly?

This isn't such a great board to stack a donk on.

For the bet/c/r ai line, I prefer the board to be much drier. I really don't like it in this spot, mainly because there are lots of 2p combos, and more importantly, the turn just completed an obvious draw (JT). I think that I would rather just bet the turn.

Had the board been like KT27 I like stackadonk much better.

[Marshall28]

someone plz explain to me whats a stackadonk?

[Wu36]

its just a term for betting the flop then c/r ai on turn. courtesy of el diablo, i believe.

[orange]

stackadonk:

you bet, villan calls. turn bricks, you c/r ai.

or...

you bet, villan raises, you call. turn comes, you c/r ai.

pretty much c/r ai on the turn. would be a semi-intresting topic to discuss.
