AA with 4 callers

mvp · #1 05-10-2007, 01:27 PM

The other players are likely to play and call anything.
i realise going all in, probably wasent the best option, a good sized raise would probably have been the best option. was a bit afraid with so many in the pot. How should i have played this hand?

Make it $25 on the flop (assuming effective stacks are $50) and shove turn/call flop push. Your push is only going to be called by sets or an idiot who decided to play J8s. There are no draws here so this is a good board to go to the felt with AA.

you raised enough preflop to get any junk hands out of the pot

post flop i would have raised to about 15 to figure out whether or not he has a set

him just smooth calling on the flop means that he might indeed have a set, def not aj, possibly kj or qj.

my gut and logic both tell me that he hit a set against you

thanks for your advice, will play it different next time.

prodonkey · #5 05-10-2007, 02:50 PM

the full ring forum can prolly give you better advice... when 3 people limp they don't like to fold, so I raise it up more than $3.. prolly like $5 or so

tiger_hall · #6 05-10-2007, 03:43 PM

WOW.... $3 to all in for $60.... think u over bet that one...
raise from $3 to around $16...

Nicefingcatch · #7 05-10-2007, 03:47 PM

Yea i know i overbet [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] was a bit unsure as to how i should play it.

a solid rase about 16 as you and others have said would seem to be the correct way. thanks for you advice

if in doubt, push AI or what?

thats not the way to go. alway keep in mind what you want to call and what should fold.

I know others have point this out... but that bet is horrid. Anyone who is not beating you folds. If anyone has a set, you're handing them your stack.
