Played perfectly. Do not be results oriented.

thx ... usually I'm not results oriented but I took 4 of these in about 30 min last night and I thought maybe I was overplaying.

This seems like a less-than-optimal fishiness rating on this table, with two late position limps only. Was this the only table available, or was this not a characteristic number of limpers?

Had you typically been this Aggro w/A2xx-ssA, and had the other parties been playing long enough to notice? Had you also been aggro with any high-only hands in this session?

Is the SB the ideal place to get aggro in the first place? I can see a pot-building raise with many players with this hand, but I don't have the vision of a scare raise with low-focused hand as first to act.

PS - Tut tut for not using a hand converter.

Puting 20% of your money preflop with A238 is just asking for trouble, the rest of the hand belongs to the bad beat section.

I'd play it exactly the same way. You hit everything you needed to hit, although you need to be careful not to overvalue two pair (especially bottom two) in multi-way pots.

According to the Cardplayer calc:
A823 = 37.3%
A2QT = 42.1%
QQ56 = 20.6%

On this particular hand, your odds go way down just based on the fact that your opponents have different outs covered and you're sharing the low draw. In most situations though, you can expect 3/4 or at the very least half of this pot.
