NL50 - AA - how's this line?

ChicagoPoker · #1 07-21-2007, 12:14 AM

What do you guys think about how I played this? Push preflop?

On the flop I was hoping he had AK and at the same time scared as hell he had KQ. So I was totally lost about how much to bet.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero ($48)
UTG ($68.80)
Button ($44.55)
SB ($36.15)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG raises to $1.75, 2 folds, Hero raises to $6, UTG calls $3.75.

Flop: ($11.75) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $4.5, UTG raises to $9, Hero raises to $47 (All-In), UTG calls $33.50.

Raise more preflop to cut down his implied odds.
Flop is fine.

No other thoughts on this? Pretty standard?

I'm asking b/c I got stacked here lol. I want to know whether it was just a cooler or if I made a glaring mistake.

raise more preflop, make a standart raise on the flop. You are the preflop aggressor, villain expects you to CBet the flop. Would you play TT,JJ this way ? Don`t think so.

woops, misread flop, yea, you need to bet more on the flop

I hate your bet size. I would probably bet $8. He min-raises, which always pisses me off. I probably slow down after that against a lot of opponents, but in this case he could just peg you for being weak because of your bet size. Reads would be nice.

obviously best line possible. it doesn't let his crap hands suckout as often and makes donks with QQ and KK pay in the long run.
