Live AA hand at the Taj - 1/2 NL - Play along with me...
 

This is from a live game on Saturday night at the Taj in AC.

Hero has been playing very laggy. I've been raising a lot on the table and bullying everyone around and the rest of the table knows that.

Villain is a tighty. He hasn't played many hands. He doubled up on his first hand at the table and has been winning small pots since then. We've been at the table together for about 2 hours.

Please no comments on preflop play. Let's focus on the play strictly from the flop on.

Stacks:
Hero - $600
Villain1 (SB) - $420
Villain2 (CO) - $240

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero raises to $6, 7 callers, Villain1 (SB) raises to $40, BB folds, Hero calls, 5 folds, Villain2 (CO) calls, Button folds

Flop: ($153) T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain1 checks, Hero?

No offense, but I can't imagine how this hand could require much thought.

Ok ok, we'll go straight to the turn then...Rest of the flop action:

Hero bets $100, Villain2 folds, Villain1 calls

Turn: ($353) J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain1 checks, Hero...

Villain1 has about $280 left so about the size of the pot. Thoughts?

c/f turn.

sorry didn't notive positions. I guess if he bets we fold, and if he checks we check back. Hope to get to showdown.

wow... this *might* be better.

Shoving doesn't get a better hand to fold and I'm not sure that KK or QQ will make a call. Their are some real scary cards that could hit the river so I can see why a shove might make sense on the turn.

This being live, I probably check the turn and call a river shove, which is how I expect KK and QQ to proceed.

bet $100 on the turn. live donks do it all the time. or bet like $75.

If he has quads thats just sick, and there isn't anything you can do about it. I dont see how you dont show this down.

With your image why are you not 4 betting preflop?

Re: Live AA hand at the Taj - 1/2 NL - Play along with me...
 

you have to bet the flop. A pot size bet is good. This way if anyone of them calls they risk a good portion of their stack. So you are putting pressure on them and you probably have them beat. So if they have like JJ or QQ or maybe even 99 then they might be forced to put the rest of their money in . Also the pot is a good sized pot and the flop is where you have to be aggressive and get info about what their hands are. you can't be passive on the flop. Now the Villian likely has AK or AQ, or a pair and is scared that a ten hit, either way your pot size bet is good because if they call the flop they are commmited to the pot and you just chopped away at their stack. So the pot size bet is all about pressure.

i think preflop needs to be commented on. with a laggy image 4bet it all day, makes it easier to get it in with stack sizes.

This is live. MEGA-lol at QQ or KK folding. Just lol.

Re: Live AA hand at the Taj - 1/2 NL - Play along with me...
 

Fold preflop.

Re: Live AA hand at the Taj - 1/2 NL - Play along with me...
 

I would probably check behind on turn and call a river bet.

seriously. what the hell is the point of havign such an image if you are not 4betting aces pf here

Re: Live AA hand at the Taj - 1/2 NL - Play along with me...
 

Ok I was villain1 in this hand, which is why I said don't worry about preflop. I had TT for the quads and took down a huge pot, but I wasn't worried about how I was going to play the hand. I was just thinking if I could find a fold for the AA that deep, which is why I posted it up as if I was the AA guy.

Thx for the replies.

Next time put it in BBV because this hand sucks. If you're going to switch hands with someone at least do it with someone that does something interesting. The villain with AA misplayed his hand PF and it cost him big. There is nothing interesting about that.
