Default Re: Was I right, or my friend?

Exactly what slim said for the reasons he said. At 25/50 the furthest I'm willing to go w/ aqo is limp and if i then get minraised I'll call and play super carefully. Calling the 4x raise preflop I think is really bad while calling the shove is awful. Like Slim said the absolute best case scenario has you at 5050 to win here. However I think its much more likely you are up against high pockepairs/ak which means most likely you only have 3 outs either a queen or ace depending and you might need running queens. Not sure if that made sense or not but...

CLiff Notes: Fold preflop and fold again to shove.

I'll open-raise AQo here but I don't like getting called, and it's a very easy fold to a re-raise.

It's definitely a bad fold once you're already all-in.

You should fold every stage of this hand that you have a fold button.

Result - I was the one who shouted NO, and my mate really wanted to gamble as he is a loose aggressive player, but my begging persisted and he eventually folded what wouldv'e been a winning hand. He moaned at me for a while, he got second place then spent my game criticizing my play. Thank you for all your replys, but my conclusion is I was right (of course lol).

Flop: (t3100) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t3100) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t3100) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t3100
<font color="#009B00">Main Pot: t3045 (t3045), between UTG and Button.</font> &gt; <font color="#FFFFFF">Pot won by UTG (t3045).</font>
<font color="#009B00">Pot 2: t55 (t55), returned to Button.</font>

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG has 9c 9d (straight, king high).
Button has 5h 5c (one pair, fives).
Outcome: UTG wins t3045. Button wins t55. </font>
