NL 25, AA played wrong?

Big Rob Jr. · #1 09-30-2007, 11:50 PM

I'm only playing at this level because I needed to earn points to get to Silverstar level, I've been playing SNG's since my first deposit two weeks ago. I have alot of live cash game experience, not much online. I have no reads on villian in HJ, this was his first hand, CO had went all in on the previous two hands and lost, and I don't have a read on player behind me (price paid for six-tabling).

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG+1 ($13.15)
MP1 ($23.65)
MP2 ($10.85)
MP3 ($9.50)
CO ($5.60)
Button ($19.45)
Hero ($37.40)
BB ($27.95)
UTG ($1.35)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
4 folds, MP3 calls $0.25, CO raises to $1.25, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.15, BB calls $1, MP3 raises to $9.5, CO calls $4.35 (All-In), Hero raises to $37.5, BB folds.

Flop: ($46.05) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: ($46.05) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($46.05) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $25.85

Should I have just called MP3's AI instead of pushing myself? I really didn't want to play Aces in a four way pot, but I feel as if I might have left money on the table as played. I'll post results later.

Wait so what seems to be the problem here? Looks standard to me. If you weren't going to get it AI preflop, it probably would have been done on the flop.

This is fine, your reraise is about 3x the previous raise.

never wrong to get it all in with AA preflop

Perhaps, but it is usually suboptimal to just push. Here its not.

Flat calling here with aces is terrible.

Thanks for the responses, I figured I made the right play. Like I said, I didn't want to play Aces in a four-way pot, but I wasn't sure if my decision to shove over the top of HJ's AI was a decision I made because it was the correct play, or if it had something to do with the two times I was felted with them the day before. BTW, HJ had A-Qo, and CO had JJ, shipit.

srsly

EDIT: I'll add....the decision to flat call the first raise costs you much more than your later decision...as played, you pushing or just calling makes close to no difference...BB probably just called along with a PP or suited connectors or something and is going to easily fold whether it is $8 more or his full stack...there is maybe a small chance that he will get frisky if you just call and he's far enough behind your aces to make it fine for you to just flat call the raise IMO

Your PF play at this level is terrible...You say you do not want to play AA in a 4 way pot BUT you ONLY CALL COs raise after 1 limper raise...What did you expect to happen now????? You got lucky and MP3 was an idiot and allowed you to shove over his limp reraise BLUFF..

awful.

Never smoothcall this w/ a ;imper and then a raiser: your smooth call induces the original to come in as well, thus you are playinig a 3 way pot and your hand value decreases. The guy is raising from the CO or whatever, so go ahead and repop him, chances are he likes his hand, and is a spewer.

Awful line IMO. your just lucky you got bailed out bu a guy re raising.
