Everyone folding this?

nh5150 · #1 01-15-2007, 08:43 PM

Only sat down at the table. This is my fourth hand. No reads whatsoever. Just wondering how you all would play
this. Is my reraise after the c/r just plain terrible?
Would you all just throw it away there and then?
All comments welcome.
Thanks. Neil.....

Sorry to be not much help, but this one sux. I would have either done what you did, or just called when he came over the top on flop. Either way I don't think I could have gotten off the AA, but I'm a sucky newb [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

you must reraise this a lot heavier, like at least 7 dollars. then you can lead pot for like 12, if he pushed on this flop im just going to have to go broke but im pretty confident about being ahead most of the time.

I'd do what you did, morning noon and night.

Also I'm not great at SH NL. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Are you saying it's completely obvious that he's got top set? Because it's not at all obvious.

No, I'm not folding this against an unknown. Only criticism I have is that you should have raised $6 preflop, and just pushed when the action came back to you on the flop. If he has KK, then I'm from Missouri. Show me. Nice hand.

Oh, just noticing your dreadfully small raises. Keep 'em pot-sized. I know PS doesn't have a button for that, but you're going to get reamed for the min-raises.

But folding? No, I do not fold there.

Yes, the raises are a bit strange sized. I should be thinking more about my exact raise amounts. See what you are saying about stars though. I hate the slider thing and dont like messin about with it for too long. Im scared of people thinking i am hesitating.
Thanks dnord.....

Preflop raise is crap. If I was in Villain's spot and had 66 or 88, I would call that. If you made it $7 pre, I'd fold.

Jigsaws · #9 01-15-2007, 10:16 PM

$6-7 preflop. Don't fold.

Interesting theory. My raise is crap if you want me to start betting stupid amounts XBB. I dont think i have ever threw $7 in PF at this level. I dont see anybody else doing it either. Would that be your standard reraise at this level?
Would you rather everybody folded to you PF so you didn't have to bother playing the other streets. I love it when people call my reraises when i have AA and we go to the flop. Its probably my my most profitable hand.
The post did not ask how to make everyone fold when you have AA. If he reraised me again PF i probably would just go AI because he liked his hand so much.
