AA flop all-in

Oh, and betting less might encourage drawy hands come in cheap and possibly undermine your hand.

Although, I don't know that this is a big deal because you still have the most equity preflop.

I dunno, I just like to charge 10Js to play.

To deny reasonable pot odds to the BB and the original raiser. Most around here advocate a raise of 3-4x the big blind plus 1bb per limper, at least at earlier levels. Decreasing to 2.5x at higher blinds is advocated by some. His raise to 450 is 3x, but doesn't take into account the limper.

Also, when you bloat the pot pf, it allows KK or qq to rr, then we can rrr, and be as happy as a pig in [censored]!

Also, it allows us often to just shove the flop.

WHat does villain do then? He calls with tp, and gets stacked.

He has a flush draw, but no odds to continue.

He has a st8 draw, but incorrect odds to continue.

He folds and we win.

He has hit his set/two pair, and stacks us.

Now, which of the above happens the most?

Also, poker hands generally speaking fall into the categories of 1) wanting to get in cheap, then punishing the others when we hit
2) wanting to get in expensive, and punish those trying to draw out on us.

AA is the latter, 76s and 44 the former. If you get these the right way round, poker = easy, and you = card shark

If you get it the other way around, poker = hard, unprofitable, and you = donky

This is a good idea, but reserve it for when you're opening the betting. As there was a limper in already, it was time to buckle down and isolate, or just take it down right there. I do not like aces against two opponents, and if the BB had any sort of hand, you likely would have had two callers.

Greed is never good. I need to remind myself of this every time I get busted on "tricky" play. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
