The limp re-raise hand seemed like a great spot to rep AA on the AQ4 board with outs + back doors if it went wrong. With 7200 in the pot + the weak lead did you not think it was worth a stab?
You can't put anyone else on AA because you would've got re-popped pre. Did you just not fancy it at the time?
Yes , in hindsight i totally agree , i wasn't sure if the player had heard me say " pot " and if he had and was still betting into me i was concerned that if i made the reraise he may still call with a wrap , it was the first hand i played with no information on the styles of the players. Calling was probably the worst option.
Doesn't the wrap only give him 4 outs? You hold one of his kings and tens and the jacks obv split it. If we assume he needs to hold KJ10 to call the shove he has 2 of his own outs leaving him with 4 to win and 3 to chop. Surely you're miles ahead and want the call?
You're absolutley right , i probably also considered he was betting second set to find out if i had AA , regardless i should have raised or folded , also when the other player bet the river i auto mucked assuming he had the straight but not stopping to consider that he can make this bet to steal the side pot as with an all in and both of us checking the turn it looks like a value bet , usually i would be a lot sharper than this and i can only assume that i was a little " off " my game from the beginning due to the fact i play so little nowadays.
In the hand where i flopped the nuts with no redraws i did consider folding but wanted to get those chips back lost in the first hand and my gut instinct was he was drawing not splitting so i went with it but he got there.
I intend to start playing more events in the club , partly to socialise as host but also to try out the new schedule and keep my hand in , i will play a few events without backing and once i am happy i am playing my A game and getting results i will offer shares again.
As Tikay points out most of my backers are still well in front but i dont ever want to play backed if i am not on top form.
Cheers
