15+1 Stars - AA early

[Kurtiii]

Did i play this to aggressive ? Villian was pretty loose preflop. No reads on his postflop play yet :/

If you got all of his chips in on this safe turn, I'd say it was just the right amount of aggressiveness [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ps. If that Q was a heart, we're not moving past the flop without more chips flying first. I still reraise even this flop just as often as not. But leaving impetus with the right villian can certainly pay off on the turn.

Yea, i tried to not scare him and meanwhile build the pot so that any decent sized bet on the turn would make him feel comited with a Q. I would have bet the pot or a little more with a 2 Flush.
The way he played it i couldnt see that i am behind with an overpair

I havent seen the other replies yet but I will give mine.

I am wondering what he could be check-raising this flop with. He could have a Queen, middle pair or trips.

There is no danger for trips here so a call would be fine instead of a raise. So he doesn't neccesarily have trips here.

If he has middle pair or a queen then he's made a very brave play against the preflop raiser.

I think the all-in move on turn is ok, as he is not acting like he has trips. A smaller raise might be better though as you want a lower pair to be more enticed into calling you. You also will have a chance to fold if you are raised all-in. (although I wouldn't.)

The only hand he could have that makes any sense is AQ. This is strong enough for the check-raise, and maybe the all-in too (if he was a loose player.)

I notice that the only hand you are losing to here is 45.
You'd be very unlucky if he had that. 45s?

I think your play was fine here.

i think i just go all in on the flop or 3-bet it to 600 at least. No point to mess around and you've got to figure you're way ahead here most of the time. your play is perfectly fine here, too.

i like to reraise on the flop...in the 15's, if he has a Q hes gonna put his money in...if he just calls a non all in 3 bet youre all in on the turn. no need to get cute, straight aggressive play is fine here. your line is fine (but id personally have 3 bet flop)

[Green Kool Aid]

3 bet flop to 600. Get all in on turn.

AA UTG has to be one of the worse hand. When i got pokertracker I had to make major adjustments on my game because UTG was the hand i lost the most money in...
I would of bet $150 pre flop...bet the pot on the flop..check on the turn...over bet the pot on the river.
