PS $20 /180 S&G Question

[R2004]

This may sound like a bad beat story, but it is a strategy question. About 61 left my stack is 3640 blinds are 100/200 and I am co with two red aces. Folds to mp + 1 w/ 4600 in chips, he raise to 527, I call trying to trap, this guy has played poorly and has gotten lucky a lot. Folds to BB who pushes all in for 2890 more mp +1 calls I raise for 750 more and am all in & mp+1 calls. BB has AJ off, MP+1 has 5c,6c. MP+1 makeas a straight on the turn. My question is this, have any of you seen this kind of poor play this deep in the 180? This was my first one and I will play many more, should I expect this kind of bad play from some of my opponents this deep in general and adjust my play accordingly? I figrued all the riff raff would be out at this point?

You're right. It does.

Yeah you'll see bad play like trapping from the CO against a bad player by smoothcalling a 2.5xBB bet with AA ALL the time in these things.

Bad Play???????????????? I knew this guy had nothing, and I need to double up, the table had been very tight at this level. Also, my goal was to get all in PF, which is what happened. MP should not have called BB's all in he was an idiot and didn't want to win. He still had a sizable chip stack to continue, if it is heads up between me & MP w/ no more raising PF, I have the discipline to throw AA away when I think I'm beat after the flop. This is how you play poker!!!!!

I always get a kick out of this, stories that include the color of the Aces or Kings. The red ones are lucky. The black ones are a bad omen, they should be folded PF.

[R2004]

Just trying to give all the facts, people flame when I do not, the color to me does not matter, but to others on this site it does.

I know you didn't mean anything by it, I just always think its funny when I see it. Sorry, I won't pick on it anymore.

Bad players call raises with bad hands. Thus, you should reraise your AA to get him to put his money in. His raise was dinky, and you're in a crap spot if the button and both blinds call.

He called an allin with 65 and you're telling me it's an error to raise your AA b/c you want his money? Then go get it!

Haha, ironic considering my username, and I'm who you replied to.

In telling a story, I only think it's relevant when the suits come up, i.e., the flop is 679 all diamonds and I'm holding black AA. My username is b/c of a specific hand I played.

[bgoalie35]

Ha, that irony was completely lost on me until you pointed it out.

"My username is b/c of a specific hand I played."

You can't start a story like that and not finish....
