This is why AT is bad at early levels. It can get you into a lot of trouble (as its marginal at best early on). Most times you are ahead here and see a worse ace.

I'm guessing He had QJ. Am I right?

Please call this. You are normally ahead more then you are behind in this spot.

Quoted for truth. Nice call and I agree of course.

Dangerous spot, thinking that a CR all-in might be a good alternative to the lead here... this flop is pretty certain to have hit someone out there hard enough to bet out and if you can get your chips in vs the draws then all is good.

As played i'd call too, would probably grumble about it first though.

Cheers, Mark

Check/Raising strong hands loses you $EV. You are far better off leading your strong hands especially in multiway limped Pots. The is no guarantee that some will bet this for you.

I say, If he has me beat, he has me beat. I am putting my money in here. It's annoying, but necessary I feel.

kevstreet · #8 02-24-2007, 03:02 PM

I'm completing pf and probably stacking off given the flop action.

tsearcher · #9 02-24-2007, 03:18 PM

I would fold preflop. As played I would overbet the pot. As played on the flop it would depend on any reads. But I would probably fold to the all in. With this many limpers, you may already be beat. Or be facing a strong draw. Folding still leaves you with plenty of chips at this stage.

I would just fold this hand preflop, you can get into alot of trouble and be forced to make a hard decision for all your chips on a hand like this.
