Default Re: Did I play my aces in game incorrectly

skleice- no joke. I only bought in for 40bb because I have watched them play before and most will chase at horrible pot odds and suckout. Incase a hand like this happened.

I was thinking I should have bet more on the flop, but watching him play, even if I went all in, which would be the only move to make given my stack size vs the pot (would have to go all in on river), I am pretty sure he would call with a draw.

Guess I will just take this hand as a learning experience

If you have more money, you can make them pay more to suck out on you.

Micah - it sucks but the hand is pretty standard. I would bet more on the flop, and my gut told me J10 as soon as the turn hit. But it happens.

This is exactly why you want to buy in with a full stack. If this guy is gonna keep making preflop calls like this and chasing his draws, he will be your personal ATM. You will get unlucky here and there, but you will stack him most of the time. I play in a home game much like this, and I always bring 100bb's plus a backup 100bbs. Yes, I have been outdrawn by some ridiculous holdings, but I am by far the big winner in the game. Be happy when they chase, cuz most of the time they are pissing money away...good luck.
