NL25: AA - Low coordinated board

[ActionStan]

I beg to differ. He could have played it a lot worse.

Yeah, maybe he should have made it a $1 or $1.25 pre. I think $2 is a scared money kill your action sort of bet. You want people to call you when you have a strong hand. You don't want their quarters, you want their dollars. You're not trying to blow them off the crappy rags they are going to call with. How are they going to put too much money in the pot when they make top pair with JTo if you don't let them play it. Sometimes it goes south and you stack off. These things happen.

Post flop, the money ends up getting in however it gets in. With 80bb, you're just getting all-in here. That's just the way it is.
