Default Re: Going Broke with Aces

[ QUOTE ]
Not a great board for aces but what are the stack sizes. Saying you have equal stacks doesn't help if we don't know how much you have.

In your example it makes alot of difference, because if he bet $5 into a $5 pot and you raise all-in for 40 more its probably a really bad play. But if you only have 10 left and raise all-in it isn't near as bad (maybe not right but not as bad).

Edit: See if you can find a converter (Is ther one for Bodog?). If not try and put it so we can see the actions (in $ amounts) and the pot size, it will make it alot easier to follow.



Edit #2: Your philosophy is bad. Stack size and what comes is important and can't be ignored. Some times because of stack size what comes will not matter but as a general philosophy everything matters.

None of the converters work with bodog, at least that I know of.

Hero 47.50
Villain 51.00
BB 41.00

Pot was $7.50 going into the flop
Villain bet $7 making the pot $14.50

Why would you reraise all in on that flop? Frankly that scares the [censored] of me and I fold to his bet.

I will readily admit to playing them horribly. But you insta fold to that bet, with that board? You don't think he could make that bet with a hand that I am ahead of at the time? Like a pair and flush draw (K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]) or even QQ giving him an over pair on an OESD, or a pair and a queen?
