Just switched to Full Tilt from a 200BB site, trying to adjust to 100BB.

BB was 25/15 something. Did I play the hand like a donkey?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($1.11)
BB ($27.16)
UTG ($30.22)
Hero (MP) ($29.64)
Button ($25)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K

, A

1 fold, Hero bets $1, 2 folds, BB raises to $3, Hero calls $2

Flop: ($6.10) A

, 8

, 5

(2 players)
BB bets $4, Hero raises to $26.64 (All-In), BB calls $20.16 (All-In)

Turn: ($54.42) 5

(2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($54.42) K

(2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $54.42 | Rake: $2.72

Results: (in white below)
BB had 5

, 5

(four of a kind, fives).
Hero had K

, A

(two pair, Aces and Kings).
Outcome: BB won $51.70

Pls don't post results.

If all you have are stats, could you at least post the 3bet statistic....since ya know it's a 3bet pot.

You have to put him on a range of hands preflop. And then adjust that range post flop. I don't really see that you did that here.

Ich grolle nicht...

usually people will polarize their 3b range:
top of the range: AK, QQ+
other crap: 22-55, A9s-A2s, 86s+ (two gappers)

some people 3b a merged range:
AQ+,TT+
others take some from column A and some from column B
nits just 3b the top of their range and don't 3b that much at all

what I'm trying to say is that unless he's a nit, I think 4b/get it in is standard with your hand... even though when called you're either a flip or crushed, you get a lot of folds from your 4b in the first place and you can't fold after 4bing since pot odds are too good
if you think he's kind of nitty, then this is fine, although usually I make a smaller flop raise, just minraise to say $8 and call a shove
this is to cross fingers and hope for spew/semibluff shove with flush draw
