avg stack is 40k every1 seems weak so my limp isnt tranparent and every raise i make takes down the pot.on flop i theres a chance im beat and not a bad idea to give free card so i check do u like this? on turn same thinking after he bets i feel same way.on the river he makes small bet makes me think he has a small pair and is trying to get value from a very weak hand from me so i min raise because i think hes folding to anything bigger then he min reraises wtf i know the pot is huge can i find a fold?

You have managed to compress every single play i hate in tournament poker into one hand.

I guess if your going to open limp aces the Sunday million is really the only appropriate place to do it.

I bet the turn, and as far as the river play i have no idea, i'd never be in that spot.

I think there's alot of fancy play syndrome going on here.

I don't like the pf open limp for a lot of reasons not the least of which is you have less than 20 BBs to start the hand.

I don't mind the flop check only partly because of your rationale re: the possibility of being beat but mostly because of the chances of getting paid off by a worse hand and the lack of draws.

I almost always bet the turn after checking the flop though.

The river check/min-raise is just cringe inducing especially since you aren't entirely sure where you're at. I'd lead or check/call (maybe c/c in your spot, but lead if I bet and was called on the turn), but never check/raise without some read.

Honestly, I think every street needs work.

As played, I guess you have to be good something silly like one time in 15, so whatever I call even though you prob aren't good one time in 15.

ya 1st time i limped with aces in like 6 months maybe longer.flop and turn very wierd also river because i folded lol.

[adanthar]

okay fine PF, okay fine flop, ooooookay fine turn, but jebus in the universe of all possible river lines this is probably the exact worst one, except for betting all your chips -1 and folding to a shove

[fluorescenthippo]

well obv you are crushed on the river once you are in that spot. id fold on a good day even with those odds.

[donkfish]

I'm not sure, i think this river line is possibly worse than betting all chips -1 then folding.

Seriously though, I really really dont like the limp PF either. I see no reason to put your tournament life on the line hoping that one of your opponents will hit enough to pay you off but not enough to stack you. But thats just me, ABC [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

One last thing:

had no intention of ever c/rin there but that bet made me think i was ahead for sure and that he'd call me with worse.
