I think he has AK or air enough times to call this..

Edit: Actually, probably not, I play higher usually..

This is the opposite of good poker on every street. I want to be sick.

"I played the hand PERFECTLY. I slowplayed it all the way to the river and then BAM, a king comes off and I have to fold because I put him on exactly KK. Total suckout."

Well, it isn't. Just do the opposite of everything you did here and you'll be fine. I'm not joking. The opposite.

Re: $25NL 6max I played AA badly help
 

I really don't think AK would play like this that often with the paired board. Any real raise and you are comitted on the turn. Could min raise as a blocking bet, but even then calling his push might be a good call. I think your line is fine. Sometimes passive is good.

Should really bet flop though, most of the time, however checking for pot control/deception is fine (if the opponent is good enough to need to use decpetion)

Re: $25NL 6max I played AA badly help
 

Preflop: The best move is to 4-bet; get as much money in as possible while you're sure you're ahead.

Flop: Bet. You need very badly to take back the lead in this hand. If the villain check-pushes, you can easily fold to the likely jack.

Turn: Part of the reason for betting the flop was to be able to check behind on the turn, and encourage him to bluff the river. As played, you're only beaten by a jack (in his reasonable hand range), so you've got to call.

River: The guy 3-bet and didn't lead on the flop, which tells me he's either being sneaky or is afraid of the jack. You have way under-repped your AA, so AK or KQ is probably assuming it's good right now - he could also be trying to push you out (since you've played it like you might have a king) with QQ, TT, etc. I think you've got to call here.

Is this Hand a joke ?
Reraise preflop. Bet flop. Raise Turn.
As played call river.

Preflop is a standard call in position with 100BB effective stacks. ESPECIALLY against someone this aggressive...wow horrible advice.

Bet on flop is WA/WB situation, checking flop gets me more value out of 1010,QQ,KK type hands.

Turn I have no clue where I am at, that's why I think in hindsight a raise is good here. For value.

It's pretty obvious I'm beat on the river so fold is so easy.

You don't call light against people with Win%@SD 50%+ for the most part. Guaranteed he had KK here though.

Ok pf is standard. flop is debatable, turn is probably a raise. River is a fold most likely.

Go back to 10nl.

Re: $25NL 6max I played AA badly help
 

sorry speedlimits, but there is nothing standard about calling a raise w/ AA, don't get me wrong it's fine to do for decpetion, but you should re-raise most of the time. If the turn is a raise then the flop is a bet, do you see why?
