i hollered when i hit the case ace on turn to stuff alexey's 55 i cried when the A3s got there on river was just checking if i can/should fold the hand on flop Title: Re: aces UTG Post by: Rupert on February 14, 2011, 08:26:05 AM Frankly preflop is a huge mistake IMO. This is probably going to come across as really condescending but i'll post it anyway :P The reason we raise bigger from early positions/SB is because we are OOP/have lots of people to get through so are opening a tighter range. Obviously a number of other factors come into play, particularly in tournaments (mostly effective stack sizes) but in this case we are suitably deep that a minraise is bad. If you take this to an extreme, imagine we just raised AA UTG and folded everything else. Obviously not every player will pick up on this, but people who realise this could call very wide since they have huge implied odds if they hit a hand. I don't know what the optimal amount would be but it could mean opening literally as big as 700-800 if we were just opening AA in order to not get exploited. In practice this obviously isn't the case and we are opening more hands but our opening range is still pretty tight and we are deep enough to not warrant a minraise. Obviously the same logic applies to why we can raise very small from late position.
Postflop I don't think i'd cbet 4 way or if I did fold to the raise don't think we get it in with very good equity very often here when they raise wet boards |
