btw I shoved, bigger stacks folded, I won.
Happy days.
If we were deeper, say $1k and potted then got re raised are we laying this down? Can we put anyone on AA because of the earlier flat calls? Surely I'm the one that people would put on AA having potted twice so we'd expect to be up against 9tjq ds or similar where we are a good favourite.
Should we just flat call if deeper and play the flop? If we flat it may show weakness to the other two who then know that we're not on AA so could raise the pot to isolate? Do we then fold?
I think I've asked too many questions. Just needed to put my thoughts down really.
I don't often play very deep so need to get a few things straight before I start doing it more often.
always re pop in this situation. good players may pounce if you show weakness by calling and why would you want to call and play out of position?. Occasionaly you will run into an AA played funkily but your unlikely to be in desperate trouble even then.
Nice situation here with 25% of the pot being free money, force them out.
If you have weak shortstackers you should look to create situations just like these, i see so many people make a pot bet that is more than half a shortstacks stack who will likely shove, i hope they feel stupid when it gets back to them with 4 callers waiting to bust their aces knowing he can't raise them again. Another one i like is flatting a raise with AAxx knowing the shortstack is likely to shove and we can do real damage when it gets back to us and we have cloaked aces if it doesn't get raised that might win a big pot.
