TOO passive. How are you not reraising preflop. Why are you checking the flop? And his bets are really weak. I don't think you can put him on anything because all you did was call the whole time.

I am reraising preflop to at least $15. You just called - fine - as played I am firing $14 on the flop to make draws pay. At that point I am committed and getting it all in - If he has AA - so be it - but you did nothing to extract information that tell you he does except a min - reraise preflop.

I don't really like it. What was your goal? I like to be in control of the betting in a hand.

You are playing to lose the minimum in this hand, not to win the hand. I don't like that mindset. I'm definitely firing that flop after checked to.

just a feeling. these situations occur so frequently at NL 50 that it was just a give away. i could never say 100% that villain had AA but by the vast majority of the time it is the case when I see this betting pattern.

Did you look into his soul? Is that how you got the feeling? LMAO You're a nit.

If you were so sure it was aces why did you call him all the way down?

Teddie hit that nail pretty good. Seriously after reading your other hand and now reading this "i had a feeling response." Have you been in the 50nl long and are you winning?
