Live 20/40 - AA

Thanks for the comments. Don't worry, it's not a massive leak - I was just seeking some good out of this hand by saying that I lost the min. As I said, against anyone else at the table - I 3-bet on the flop.

But, wouldn't it be safe to say that anyone else, their range is narrower? This is why you can jam a bit with a LAG in these spots. Or wait to use their aggression on the turn.

3-bet! Cmon, given the description of him you have to. Plus you have to charge all those other limpers. a 3-bet may fold one of them.

A 3-bet doesn't get many to fold even the amazing gutshots at this table. Just tonight, same game, a guy defends his BB with 36 HU. Flop is 24J. Turn: 5. They go 4 bets. River: x. BB scoops. When asked about the hand the BB is like "It was my big blind!"

OP, just wondering...are you a winning player at these limits?

Fearing loose play like this loses you money.

Yes.

rowdy,

No offense but it sounds like you play scared. I know because I once played scared too, in fact it was when I first jumped up to 20/40 a couple of years ago. I use to give people credit for hands they didn't hold and tried to save money by making big lay downs. You may be a winning player now but if you constantly think like this you are going to get run over. This is a must 3-bet or a call and raise turn, no doubt.

[rowdyclassmate]

With all due respect, this was one hand where I had a strong read that I was crushed on the flop so I slowed down. Yes, he got there and I didn't charge him (or the others) the full amount to chase. I realize this and had I put him on a draw, I would have blasted. I went with my read and was wrong. Surely this has happened to you guys before.
