AA UTG $1/$2 NL live

Postby Three Outer » Mon Dec 11, 2006 11:15 am

$100 max, $1/$2. I have ~$95 UTG with AA and limp. 2 others limp plus both blinds. Flop comes down AT3 all spades ($9). I lead for $10 and get called in 3 spots. Turn is an offsuit 6 ($47). I lead again for $35, MP calls, BB min raises to $70. $35 to me with ~$50 behind. I push because I'm probably getting called from both spots, in which case I'm getting ~5-1.

Now, I think my major error in this hand was leading the turn. I'll defend the PF limp, flop lead, and the turn push. Should I have check-called the turn depending on the action?

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

no way to get off this hand at this point.

Yes, it looks like the BB flopped a flush, but assuming you just call (which you at least have to, you can't fold here), and the rivers a non-board pairing, non-spade, you have to play for your stack there.

Given that, I'd rather put my hand in now rather then let a hand like Ax[6s] hit some goofy flush.

at live limits these low, you'd be amazed how often you'll see someone holding a hand that you have crushed, even with that check min-raise.

Shove it in. expect to see a flush about half the time (in which case, pair the board as nessisary), and a donk-hand about half the time.

Also, i don't hate the preflop limp here, but it's not really useful in this game. First of all, one of the big components to the limp is the ability to get off AA on a threatening board. With only 50 BB's, this becomes far more of a challenge. secondly, it gives you the chance to reraise it. but from what i've seen, live 1/2 games are about as loose passive as they come. the fact that there were only 5 of you in this pot suprises me. You're inviting action here in this type of game, and if you limp you're likely to see at least a 4 way flop, if not more.

Hell, even some of the more aggressive players lay off the raises once someones entered the pot, it cools them off.

lastly, these guys are going to be, for the most part, a bunch of idiots. the best solution against these guys is just to bet bet bet when you have it, bet hard and bet fast. they love to pay you off.

Limping AA has a value when you're on an aggressive table against good players. It's good there because it disguises the strength of your hand if the pot doesn't get raised, and gives you a chance to either trap a player HU (though likely OOP), or reraise if you're going to be in a multi-way pot (these both assuming it gets reraised).
