Default Re: Paul Wasicka\'s AA fold in HSP

First of all I don't like the UTG limp. Wasicka has been more actively on that table: Reraised some players with junk and basically became more agressive. Most player will have catched on this and his UTG raise might look a little less strong in that spot. Players such as elezra and others call a lot pf raises, so raising will thin the field while still creating an decent pot (2-3way). Plus there is the high chance of Sammy or someone else reraising.. Overall raising in that spot has a bigger expected value imho. As played the flop fold is tough but with the given situation I guess it's fine that way. I myself wouldn't have come into that spot and if I accidently get there then I might fold as well.

I haven't seen many episodes and haven't seen this one. But the way this game plays the only play is fold. You stand to make too little money and you'll definitely have to give a free or cheap river card to half the world. I don't think EP AA can VB the river and no one is going to VB a worse hand for you on the river either. AA just loses too much money taking it past the flop in this spot. Plus PW seems risk adverse (for whatever reason) so I'm sure he didn't even give it a 2nd thought

Don't think it mattered what was on the flop; he had already decided that once he didn't get a chance to come over the top pre-flop, he was done. Very smart, given the game.

Really? Floating the SB's bet is out of the question?

good fold, bad preflop limp based on the hands they showed him play on tv.

floating is always "just a call" but my understanding was that it connoted "calling to see what other action develops," which is why I used it. Now that we're done quibbling over semantics, do you have an opinion?

My opinion is that I frequently play AA like this in FR games. After the SB leads and with that many players left to act behind me this is an easy fold.
