Another AA problem....

[RioRodent]

25c/50c NL 6 handed on Prima... I guess a better player could lay this AA down on the flop??

I'd lump it in every time man.

[jezza777]

me too, there is always the runner runner nut flush.

Would have to be runner runner runner?

No re-raise preflop?

[RioRodent]

Call and you should have raise PF.

Yes... I've been thinking about that.

I limped UTG hoping for someone to raise behind me... when they did, a big re-raise might have got the 77 out of it and maybe got it all in against the QQ.

Exactly. 90% of the time QQ pushes pf, especially at 25/50c.

At least you know next time

[jezza777]

why do you want 77 pushed out preflop when you hold AA?

[jezza777]

Would have to be runner runner runner?

Indeed. My poker brain has not engaged at all today. Luckily I havent played so it hasnt cost me anything!

[Bongo]

why do you want 77 pushed out preflop when you hold AA?

I'd much rather play a big pot preflop against QQ than a 3 way pot on the flop v QQ and 77 (unless I knew exactly what they were holding so I could get out if I'm behind).

[jezza777]

I agree in a way Bongo poker would be a sinch if we knew our opponents holdings. I think I would be prepared to take 3 way action with AA in a cash game tho . I know your chance of winning goes down but the potential reward goes up.

[Nem]

Who wants 77 out? I want more money in the pot and hopefully the initial raiser to raise my re-raise.

[Royal Flush]

Well i don't want an unamed pair in there for $3 if i am going to stackoff, i dont mind 77 calling aslong as its for $10+
