Re: AA in small blind to a raise
Why are you not 3 betting PF? Why are you donking the flop?

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
Am I allowed to explain the actions of the hand or why I posted it, or does that influence peoples reactions? This is my first posted hand.

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
Yea you can explain your actions, especially when your play isn't standard. Coldcalling PF obviously isn't standard. There are some cases where it may be correct to coldcall aces in the SB, although I personally never have, but I doubt it's right here.

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
Ok good. I posted this hand because after playing it I did not like how I played it. For some reason I decided to be deceptive preflop and not show that kind of strength. Duh this ain't Brunson I'm playing against. I wanted some constructive criticism for my first hand post.

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
It is ok to to slowplay if you are trying to vary your play to reduce predictability, however, it's very rare you will want to play this hand like this. You generally want to stick to playing fundamental poker as you will miss betting opportunities. Stick to the ABC's.
Against a villan who is raising 19% of his hands preflop there is no need for deception here you have him right where you want him... betting into you when it's going to be heads up postflop when you are ahead. The straight looks a little scary but your opponent is loose and aggressive I think more times than not he's going to pay for his aggression. Rig |

When it's just one raise to you though you should raise. This is generally useful against a thinking opponent though. If you only cap with AK+, you're very easy to read and if you only call 3-bets with hands like AJo, the same is true. Most of the time you should just cap. |

[/ QUOTE ] i dont think anyone else has said it yet...by not reraising preflop you also give BB 5:1 to call and bust your aces. Sure he may call anyway but just 3bet and give him a chance to make a -EV call. also against an aggressive player like this you often dont need to try too hard to get action so dont bother slowplaying him as it will just cos u money with big hands also if you find people always c/f when you raise preflop then you arent raising preflop enough. welcome to the forums btw and dont worry...most people have had bad first hand posts. it is awefully standard so no harm no foul. |

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
Grunch:
In this hand, I'd 3-bet preflop and then lead on the flop if it is not capped. If the villain shows a lot of aggression post flop, I'd probably just call down. But I'm a known weak tighty that hates to fold pocket A's. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Doc |

Re: AA in small blind to a raise
