Title: How would u play AA from late position...??? Post by: CrestOfaWave on February 05, 2007, 12:42:22 AM Sunday Million Poker Stars ... less than 2000 players left...
Blinds 800/1600 With a first prize of $180k USD have been trying to final table a big Sunday event on and off since last April... I had approx 20000 chips - average chips 30000 and with blinds creeping up know that I need to make a move. UTG raises (has 47k chips) to approx 5500 ... everone folds to me ... I am holding AA... I reraise All In... The SB and BB fold so I now either want the call or the lay down. I put him on AK, AQ or a pair 10's or better. Sure enough he eventually calls with pocket tens and hits a ten on the flop to make a set and send me to the rail Should I have just reraised double his raise or was the allin play the right thing to do to isolate him into a heads up show down? The ten was spiked on the flop so if he had just called he would have taken me for all of my chips anyway. Title: Re: How would u play AA from late position...???

Post by: CrestOfaWave on February 05, 2007, 01:56:04 AM Playing the stars $100 rebuy to try and make up for the AA hand - plaing against the likes of Shaniac, JohhnyBax, TMAY420, Annette_15 etc... Bloody tough field - currently 38/165 after break - would be good to FT this one for the experience...
(not to mention some reload for my broll) Title: Re: How would u play AA from late position...??? Post by: CrestOfaWave on February 05, 2007, 02:52:47 AM just inflicted a 2 outer sick beat and doubled up to now be 10/89 - need to pick my spots and be patient - watching the superbowl has helped while away the time

was fun playing Rizen, Shaniac etc Title: Re: How would u play AA from late position...??? Post by: snoopy1239 on February 05, 2007, 05:37:12 AM I don't think you did anything wrong, Greg. You got him to stick it in with the worst hand, a minimum raise is always going to look suspicious. You just got unlucky.
Don't forget the 50p for the bad beat tin though. ;) Title: Re: How would u play AA from late position...??? Post by: Dewi_cool on February 05, 2007, 07:41:12 AM Rhetorical was it ;D
Title: Re: How would u play AA from late position...??? Post by: CrestOfaWave on February 05, 2007, 09:25:33 AM ahhh so that is what the 50p is for - fair enough - guess i was bemoaning my luck a little
Title: Re: How would u play AA from late position...??? Post by: AlexMartin on February 05, 2007, 05:05:11 PM Rhetorical was it ;D Your play is fine. If the stacks are deeper by 10k i flat call though. And why are you asking, you got him all-in with the worst hand, just a shame the chips arent given to you there. Title: Re: How would u play AA from late position...??? Post by: CrestOfaWave on February 08, 2007, 01:18:59 AM Lately I have been busting out of the tournaments whilst being either ahead pre flop or flopping trips on the flop then busting out to runner runner flush. I agree I probably made the right play as flat calling in this case would have trapped all my chips if he came over the top. In heads up play I tend to push hard for most if not all my chips with KK or AA.
In live play the guy mayhave folded his 10's - people seem to play a lot looser online. Title: Re: How would u play AA from late position...??? Post by: RobS on February 10, 2007, 09:44:14 AM I still don't believe it
