How badly did I mangle this? I didn't feel like he was calling with any hands I beat if i raised the flop, same for the turn. Maybe this was a WA/WB? Not really sure why i shoved river...

Thoughts on all streets?

fold pre flop

I like to live on the wild side pf. I can see where some would fold this, I'm fine raising it. I don't think it's a bad play.

Any comments on post-flop

[baltostar]

Pre-flop I fold or raise 175 depending on read on opponents styles and play of table.

Flop re-raise all-in.

You probably want to raise at some point, in this case the flop seems fine. Just check/calling gives you no information whatsoever on what the villain is holding.

Agreed. If you're raising with AT make sure you're betting when you hit your best card, because your best card allows for a lot of bad cards to hit on the turn. like a king.

Raising the flop seems best in retrospect, yes. much appreciated all.

but still, fold PF

[DannyOcean_]

you're really supposed to be a nit early on, aren't you? BC i hate nits but i'm trying to adjust to SnG's from cash. So i guess i have to nit it up and then BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE later with sexy ICM pushes.

i don't like nitting it up. Is this really that bad pf?

[sippin_criss]

PF isn't THAT bad you guys, these guys are loose and terrible so they're going to be calling pf with a lot of hands they're dominated with. I'd stick it in on the flop though, and as played just flat the river.
