AA - very basic

No stats yet on villain, but he seems non-solid. I had potted the flop on a similar board recently against him (he folded) so I suspected he didn't have much after calling the flop.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button ($62.50)
SB ($296.76)
Hero ($67.05)
UTG ($34)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
1 fold, Button calls $0.50, SB (poster) completes, Hero raises to $1.5, Button calls $1.50, SB folds.

Flop: ($4.50) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $4, Button calls $4.

Turn: ($12.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $4, Hero raises to $16, Button calls $12.

River: ($44.50) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $20.

Final Pot: $64.50

Looks pretty standard, if he didn't call preflop with 34 or hit his runner-runner flush.
I would raise about 20 on the turn, every thing else is fine.

Tonding: why 20 on the turn? Almost everything you are beating will fold to that raise.

With his bet on the turn, he either has a very good hand like 2 pair or a low set and wants you to raise oir he tries to bluff you pretty bad.
Imo if he has a made hand, you gain even more from him through the bigger bet.

Last night at Winstar I had a similar hand. Ah As, playing $2/$5 NL, raise to $15 from SB with only BB left in hand. BB is a crazy lunatic. BB calls, flop is Qh,5h,2s I check because I don't put SB on QQ and I don't think he has a flush draw, but I know he's crazy and will bet anyways. He throws $50 into a $30 pot. I reraise to $150 he calls quickly.

Turn is a 6d, I move all in for a remaining $120 or so, calls quickly, river is Ad. Villian turns over 3,4 offsuit. 2 to 6 high straight.

Two more hands later Villian calls a $1400 all in, with two players all in the hand one for $500 the other for $1400, on a Q,J,10 board with I think two spades. Villian beats a flopped straight and flopped top two pair when he hits his flush on the river.

Lesson here, some people just don't like money and they are willing to pay anything to see the next card. Against these players, get all the money you can into the hand and let them call.

I don't know about your hand Isura, but I'm assuming the guy sucked out on you. Most of the time these guys are so busy trying to hit their draw and get you to fold representing AA that they never bother to consider you have AA yourself

That is nothing like this hand, I wish that you would stop posting worthless crap.

Isura your line looks pretty standard, I like how you played it.

Isura · #7 01-21-2006, 10:04 AM

If I'm calling a river push, should I just push myself? He has about $40 left on the river.

Morrek · #8 01-21-2006, 10:13 AM

I prefer 20 on the turn, but 16 is good. River I'd just set him in for a potsized bet.

I wish you'd go to the kitchen and eat a chocolate chip cookie, than you can follow it with a nice warm glass of SHUT THE HELL UP!

I would answer the question, but according to Deaders I'm not allowed to...

God I wish we could play heads up, that would be beautiful. I'd be in a no lose situation, if I lose well hey I'm suppose to Deaders is "the better player" if I win I wonder what he'd say than?

please, please, please God make that happen
