Re: I liked my chances preflop but I don\'t think i played this one wel
I like the raise preflop to try & limit the number of players in the hand.
Betting the flop is the way to go -you can win the pot right there - esp with the A to the flush draw in your hand.
The turn raise can be any number of things against players that have gone that far.
He may have called the flop with a pair of Qs thinking he's playing for the high - and got lucky.
He may be trying to steal because a low hasn't hit.
He may have hit 2 pair & a low draw & figure he is ahead - but a paired board will give you the pot.
He may still be playing just for low & trying to push out the 3rd player.
As Barbarian said - once you start to push AA - you do get committed to the hand on a board like this because a pair on the river would make no low possible & could give you the best hand.
On the flip side, it could give someone a set and cost you more.
AA is the biggest moneymaker in LO8, but the hardest hand to get away from.
