You're aggression should be the highest on the flop and decrease on the turn and again on the river.

 there's upping your agression, then there's straight up spewing.

This is the latter.

Did you think of the range he checkraises with on the turn before you shoved all the chips into the middle?

This was the biggest concern of mine. While Doyle does like to push with draws, you have to consider ops hands and your fold equity after his reraise combined with probability of having best hand right now or hitting flush. That's usually what constitutes the Doyle push and I don't think the conditions are right.

Doyle doesn't like hands like AQ (that are possibly dominated) in full ring. Still, isn't the whole point of Doyle's play style is that he's willing to push in situations like this where he's likely behind because he's made up for it with all the times this type of aggression results in the opponent folding? Though in this circumstance he says something like, "My opponent knows that if he check raises me and I have anything at all any draw, anything, both our chips are going into the pile."

As played, I'd (unaggressively) have just called the c/r and tried to get it all in if I hit my flush (or got a Q).

I got told once that in the lower limits ($50NL is at the top end of this) that if someone re-reaises you, you are probably beaten. I've been hurt like this before and it took 100 lines to fix.

I know it's your game and all, but I'd agree with the general comments about AQ being too easily dominated. a 2xBB raise is just too small for me. 4x maybe for me and then be happy with the blinds if everyone folded. as it is, you gave the a chance to get in the action for 50c (what, just over 4:1?). I'd have called your raise with just about any pocket pair short of TT for that sort of raise.

Other than that, I'm not loving your position, but you can't change what you have been dealt or when.

What happened?

i'm pretty sure doyle's push-happy ways were reserved for the flop after being c/r'ed. as for your hand....

pre-flop - ah whatever. raise however much you want. i don't really care. your minraise got the job done. fwiw many times i fold AQ in that early of position.

flop - fine

turn - i don't mind the bet. after he raises though think about his line so far...call / check-call / check-raise...does this look familiar? this is a pretty common set line. call or fold is WAY better than your big re-raise.

I didn't see suits when I made this comment, didn't realize we had the nut flush draw.



I think calling is overwhelmingly the best play here to be honest.

Doyle was talking about when he played high-stakes cash games against players who were decent players but too tight and playing with scared money. This doesn't work well against the shitty, predictable 50NL players who don't raise unless they have the nuts.

I know what you're referring to, but I think it had more to do with calling raises with AQ and/or playing big pots with it with only 1 pair. A lot of tight players will fold AQ here UTG in full ring, even suited, but at this level a raise the best play IMO. AQs is just too good to throw away. A bigger raise is strongly preferable, obviously.

I dont think his style works as well online as in live games because you are frequently up against so many unknowns that arent even paying attention to how you are playing. You could be facing one set of opponents this hand and 5 hands later be up against an entirely new set.

Maybe if it was someone you run into regularly and you wanted to put fear into them so they dont check raise you so much, then it would fit his approach more. However if you do this alot and lose a bunch of pots they'll probably be more inclined to check raise you knowing you'll get it in with the worst hand
