Lets play, what did Villain have?

Let's also play, how many minutes did he berate me for being a terribad player?

i fold preflop
postflop is high variance play and not really necessary at 10NL (remember you're pretty much always behind when the money goes in), but yeah you cant fold to his min. 4bet.

opp. has ak probably

I don't think there's much to think about in this hand

Vill has AK/AA. Guess he might have been squeezing with the 79 of diamonds, but you're making it sound like you won.

I like your preflop call, and the rest of the hand.

I can't imagine cold calling two raises and having 1/10th of your stack in preflop with sc is going to be good over time unless your picking some really good spots/opponents that you can bluff.

He obviously had AA because he did that superdonk play of following his AA 3-bet with a small flop bet to be all tricksy. I fold preflop because his range at 10NL has you crushed. On the flop I play it passive because he's going to stack off no matter what the board looks like. But that's my preference in this particular situation. However, nothing wrong with stacking off on the flop either. You're basically flipping against a pair and there's a slight chance he could fold if he has QQ or was bluffing. Plus sucking out on these guys is fun because they don't understand equity and get pretty heated when their AA is cracked once again.

This hand is fine.

Pre-flop you need to think you can take it away post-flop without hitting a fair % of the time to make the call. The second call is GAMB00L.

Getting it in on the flop isn't BAD but I think I'd rather take a passive line and take him to town when I hit, since you put him on a range that's never folding. Your draw is so strong that you can easily afford to call the turn, even if he bets pot. If you think he's bet-folding QQ some % of the time then you need to play it the way you did.

I thought it was ok to call around 10% of both stacks as long as you think you can stack the guy if you hit with Suited connectors. Since the original raiser folded, and I closed the action I Figgured that calling and folding were about equal here.

so.... GAMBOOOOOL!

also I was running like a Kenyan in new york and destroying the tables with draws. To paraphrase and quote the famous Doyle Brunson, "How can I know if I'm on a heater, if I don't play what they give me?"
Who, advocates playing every hand after any hand you win.

Do the maths, SC's hit about 5% of the time, and you're playing for 10x your call...

It depends what you mean by hit, and he's playing for 15x.

preflop is 0ev at best, calling flop is more + ev than getting all in

what everyone else said. fold pf, postflop is fine, calling is better unless hes 3 betting sorta wide and cbetting.
