Re: AA in small blind to a raise
 

Grunch - did not look at other posts -
messed it up PF, if raised, the hand wouldda played a lot easier.
as played, prolly good not to go too crazy on the flop.
turn - call the raise
river - ok

But this hand would've played so much better if not the mess up PF.

So now I go look other comments...

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
 

"Duh this ain't Brunson I'm playing against. I wanted some constructive criticism for my first hand post. "

Especially against Brunson you'd want to stick it to the man, coldcalling PF ain't the answer.
No-one is taking the piss, it's all constructive, you got some.

Esk? I thought you'd left. What're you doing responding to Monk's....oh, WAIT A MINUTE! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

And, who gives a rat's ass if the OP cares. It's the Worst Hand Post Ever. You can't just say "don't link it, anymore, I'm embarassed."

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
 

I don't really like the preflop cold call because:

A. We lose value. We're very likely ahead (at worst, we're tied since we have the best hand!), so let's get some more bets in for value, and
B. It makes it much harder to put villain on a hand range when we don't see how she or he reacts to the 3bet.

I don't really like the flop donk, either. Make it a check-raise instead. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Again, for value and to get a better read.

The turn 3bet doesn't look good to me, either. Villain's raise is pretty scary, especially when we don't really know where we stand because of passiveness on previous streets. I just call down.

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
 

(grunch)

If you're not slowplaying (which I don't think you are since you donk the flop) then raise PF. If you get capped then you can actually consider KK or JJ, and you can probably rule out KJ, and assume that you are ahead to AK a fair amount. Why are you capping the turn and not 3betting the flop? I know the turn's a blank but if he's raising the flop he most likely has a made hand, and only a few hands beat you on the flop.

Just once I slowplayed AA PF. I flopped quads, it was checked to me, I bet, and EVERYONE folded.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Yeah I think its ok to slow play quads to the turn at least on blanks you never know what they are going to want to bet.

How slow would you go? As last to act would you check the flop? Playing results I certainly should have done so...but I suppose since giving a free card couldn't possibly hurt me (straight flush, anyone?) I definitely should have done so.

How about if the turn got checked around to me too? There I'm inclined to try to get *somebody* to pay for a draw rather than waiting for them to miss it on the river.

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
 

--grunch--

Preflop: 3-bet this.

Flop: I think you 3-bet this, too. His raising range could include just about anything and there's no real real reason to fear that he's holding KK, JJ, 99, or even K9.

Turn: As played. This is a blank and if you were ahead on the flop, you're still ahead.

River: As played. The ten isn't really good news for you.

I'm imagining a whole string of questions asking you why you didn't 3-bet this pre-flop. I'll go look.

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
 

I would have played this much stronger on preflop or if you limped on the flop.
