I'm a low limit donkey, but here's my take (FWIW).

Hand one, I fold.

Hand two, I'm calling most of the time and reevaluating the turn, but sometimes (15-20% raising to 450-550, depending on reads).

Hand three, this is where my weak-tightness appears. I probably would've raised preflop but I think I'm folding this here. You most likely have LP beat but I could see SB checking a 3 and BB pushing a 3, a 5, or any kind of straight draw. I fold this more times than otherwise.

I give this my seal of approval, especially playing AA fancy. Raise in all those situations and reraise preflop in the 1st one

Wow, no wonder you get into trouble with AA NYWalker. These hands just suck.

Agree with nath, now start raising AA. Not raising i hand 1 is particularly bad.

agree with this except in hand 2, bet the flop.

1st hand. Initial raiser likes hand enough to bet 4BB. Probably likes it enough to call another 8. Button is super loose and sucks. So let him suck by being super-loose. Raise the damn hand.

Hand two. Post-flop. Let's ignore how we got here. Bet. Nobody would put you on AA--unless they were a 2+2 regular--so you're repping a K or a flush draw. You'll get called by worse hands.

Hand three. The Commerce dealer is obviously hot for you if you got Aces 3 times in 1 day. Show her your pocket rocket.

i played in both of these tournaments today. and i am felting all three of these given the play.

however i think slowplaying AA in these tourneys is terrible. you will get plenty of action. however by slowplaying you will get a ton of limpers/multiway pots because thats how these donkeys roll.

[creamfillin]

you're watching too much HSP

[NYWalker]

Totally agree with everyone about *Not* slow playing AA.

But, here are the situations about the hand:

Hand 1: 25/25 2000 starting chips. (Table is super loose. First 10 minutes losts two players in shootout. Button 80% raises when limp to him)

Hand 2: I was short stack. Button is very loose aggressive.

Hand 3: $220 rebuy super. $200 for T500, 20 minute round. Table was full of short stack actions.
