After two limpers at level one, I don't know what your plan is when you are just tripling the blind. It's inviting a 4 way pot where everybody gets a crack at your stack with implied odds of about 35 to 1. Make it at least 100 pre imo.

Make it at least 100 pre imo. exactly this. 100 minimum, probs a touch more at this level. there are times when it may be ok to play AA weakly pre flop, entering a pot after 2 limpers is not one of them. don't even bother analysing this hand postflop imo, just never get in this position again and you won't have to worry about it in the future Title: Re: should i could i would i Post by: Bertpup on October 11, 2008, 11:04:58 PM Ship it in uberly fast.

Unfortunately in a 4 way pot your aces might as well be any other set mining pair if you come up against any strong opposition. Your chances of being up against jj, qq or kk are very slim because they would've raised more pre. Fair enough you're beating a few hands that play this flop strongly but if you value your tournament life you've got to be ready to fold. Don't get me wrong, I'm going nowhere here and all my chips go in but I'm not confident of being ahead. Best hope is that you're up against a decent draw and even then you're not a big favourite.

On the flop I think I would call this. I don't see any point shoving - if he's got a 4 you're in a world of hurt. If he's got the oesd/fd then he will probably call and you're not massively ahead. You have position on him so you can see what happens on the turn. If he leads into the turn then this'd be the part where I probably give up. If he checks, I'd probably check behind to keep the pot small. My guess though is the diamond draw - I see a lot of people do these silly little min-raises as flush draw semi-bluffs.

I dont mind this line, probs better than ever folding on this flop. But yeh.. Make it more pre, 100-120 is good. I usually 3x it plus the amount of limpers this early, so 5x in this instance. |
