Hand 1:
I know that its incorrect to limp with AA, but its one of those weird situations where its folded all throughout to me in button, and i dont want to take just the blinds. I told myself, if i get sucked out, i wont be upset because i am taking risk here to win more rather than sure thing.

My question is whether you think SB played the hand poorly in Hand 1? I think he screwed up by 3 betting the turn, but otherwise he too played it well.

SB played this hand way too aggressive in my opinion. If I were him I wouldn't bet the turn, I certainly wouldn't 3-bet.

I also don't like his river bet. It still hasn't really improved his hand since realistically Hero has to have either AA or AK.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point

everyone underestimates how much money AA and KK makes you. Everything else just negates the blinds.

BTW, I like the forgoing the flop call if you intend on raising the turn. You do not want your opponent scared and capping it on the flop if he has anything less than a set he is check calling you down.once you show weakness he feels like he is the winner and will not be afraid to bet.

Huh? Hero could easily have A4 or A9 suited. I also would've checked the turn and river cuz I woulda been thinking 99 (and maybe 44). But it's a .50/$1 game with a heart draw that didn't hit and your huge two-pair just hit the river. I can see why he bet that river.

Against a limped button and the BB against 2 random hands AKo is a favorite, It's hard to slow down 3 way with TPTK especially if it's SB, BB, and button, I personally think he played it right against a random hand, with hero's cap on the turn it looks like TP IMO so when he makes his bigger TTP you make a lot with a set... I also think he would have popped the flop with you thinking his hand was the best, I think you missed out on 2bb on the flop (the cap and the 3rd guy calling that cap)... I play AKo supper aggressive if I’m in his spot, though I hit my two pair on the river I still might only call fearing a made set by a small pp… I actually don’t think he played this too aggressive…
