Hand 1:
Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $11.75
UTG+1: $7.65
MP1: $11.90
MP2: $15.65
Hero: $21.05
Button: $12.55
SB: $19.60
BB: $63.85

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is CO with A A
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $0.75, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.75, Hero raises to $2, Button calls $2, SB folds, BB calls $1.75, UTG+1 calls $1.25, MP2 calls $1.25.

Flop: J 3 4 ($10.1, 5 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets $9.6, 4 folds.
Uncalled bets: $9.6 returned to Hero.

Results:
Final pot: $10.1

5 players to the flop after an 8x reraise. What do you bet into a tame-looking board?


Hand 2:
Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $31.95
UTG+1: $24.75
MP1: $13.25
MP2: $13.80
MP3: $15.25
CO: $10.05
Button: $16.45
SB: $37.60
Hero: $32.55

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is BB with A A
UTG raises to $1.5, 4 folds, CO calls $1.5, 2 folds, Hero raises to $4.5, UTG calls $2.75, CO calls $2.75.

Flop: K J 9 ($13.6, 3 players)
Hero bets $5.8, UTG raises to $17.75, CO calls all-in $5.8, Hero raises all-in $28.3, UTG calls all-in $9.95.
Uncalled bets: $0.6 returned to Hero.

Turn: 7 ($74.8, 0 player + 3 all-in - Main pot: $31, Sidepot 1: $43.8)


River: Q ($74.8, 0 player + 3 all-in - Main pot: $31, Sidepot 1: $43.8)


Results:
Final pot: $74.8
Hero showed Ah Ac
UTG showed Jd Js
CO mucks Qh Kh

Is this an easy (as often as AA can be an easy) fold?


or Hand 3:
Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $30.30
UTG+1: $18.90
MP1: $17.05
MP2: $24.30
MP3: $7.30
CO: $10
Hero: $25.30
SB: $8.05
BB: $1.55

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is Button with A A
UTG raises to $0.5, 3 folds, MP3 calls $0.5, CO calls $0.25, Hero raises to $2, SB calls $1.9, BB calls all-in $1.3, UTG folds, MP3 calls $1.5, CO calls $1.5.

Flop: 6 2 6 ($10.05, 4 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $8.25, Sidepot 1: $1.8)
SB checks, MP3 checks, CO checks, Hero is all-in $23.3, SB folds, MP3 calls all-in $5.3.
Uncalled bets: $18 returned to Hero.

Turn: Q ($20.65, 0 player + 3 all-in - Main pot: $8.25, Sidepot 1: $12.4)


River: Q ($20.65, 0 player + 3 all-in - Main pot: $8.25, Sidepot 1: $12.4)


Results:
Final pot: $20.65
MP3 showed 4d 4s
BB mucks Kd 3c

Was that flop push an okay play or a -EV one?

1st hand, gorgeous, its all you can do.

2nd hand, you might be able to muck, just because some donk could easily have any two pair, especially JK, but I don't think getting it in there is bad.

Third hand, with that much action, a shove can't be bad at all. Don't let them see more cards unless they are calling bad bets.

I push all in preflop and let him gamble with me getting 2-to-1 as an 85/15 underdog heads up.Reraising is asking to be destacked by a set.

In fact all 3 hands I push all in.You will find drunk people often enough who will call and stack off to you.This is where alot of your profit from Aces and Kings comes from.

Deal me AA/KK/AKs vs a a drunk sore loser anyday baby!!!!!!
