Well obviously I'm ahead preflop, I was thinking more postflop that I was no longer ahead, what with all the shenanigans and goings on.

SB has a draw or small pair, BB has 2 diamonds, UTG has an overpair.

Well where were you when I was playing this hand. You really don't think a set is possible, or some crappy 2 pair from a guy who loves suited connectors?

SB: Unlikely he called with 57 or 58. 78 is possible, I guess, but other holdings are much more likely -- K5, A7, etc. The SB's bet says "I hit the flop a little bit -- will you let me have the pot?"

BB: all-in: Please everybody fold. A set is not anxious for everyone to fold. A 2-pair is unlikely for the same reasons that it's unlikely for the SB. A drawing hand seems much more likely.

UTG: Raised preflop with a shortstack, then calls an all-in. It's possible he raised preflop with 77 or 88. He would be more likely to limp with those, however. TT or JJ is more likely I think, to raise pf and then not reraise when the action comes back to him.

They're possible. For me, "early on in a 4/180" and "hero folds AA" don't really go together. If this was a Deep Stacks or a Stuper, of course. But here, I'm going to the mat.

you should raise more preflop. 450 sounds right.

i dont really know what to do here but id probably just fold.

i mean its possibly they all have overpairs or draws, but youre beat a lot here.

I think you have to go to the felt w/ this. Beating BB &amp; SB and the hand didn't cost you anything. You'll see a lot of crappy plays here, stick w/ it on this one.
