I would quit posting coolers and reverse coolers with results visible, then come up with a real question about a particular aspect of the hands in question.

call flop, calling the all in raise is meh, you have almost priced yourself in 14 to win almost 38

your not quite a 60/40 but getting 2 two one on your money now you have to call, if you could be positive he had an overpair then your one percent better chance to win but whatever, bold aggressive plays get the money in no limit hold em next time dont post results

not really a cooler since AA played horrible.

[Larude]

Taking into consideration you have no reads stated here, MP2 is a small stack and we have a limper UTG, I am probably just limping behind here. As played I would call on the flop, he could have overs and you deny him any freecards with this play but he could also have a high pocketpair to which you have outs you might get raised off...

[umaine89]

I limp pre-flop. As played, I'd call behind on the flop with my ten outs, plus you can rep the flush if the spade comes.

lol what this guy said is spot on imo, I like the way u played it esp. preflop, on the flop it depends if u want to play high variance poker or not. I pretty much play it the exact same as I like to gamble in these spots for a nutty image.
