Trapping 101

    Default Trapping 101

    You have player reraising you preflop while you hold pocket Aces. Do you reraise him? No, you flat call and hope he catches the flop, except for a set/two pair of course. Since I flat called, he figured his TPTK was good. Only hand I was worried about on the flop would be KK. I think if I would have reraised to say, $28 or something. I think he might have folded on the flop. But then again, who knows, TPTK = nuts at these tables.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    SB ($86.35)
    BB ($40.30)
    IOS ($211.30)
    MP ($122.70)

    Preflop: IOS is UTG with A, A.
    IOS raises to $4, MP raises to $14, 3 folds, IOS calls $10.

    Flop: ($29.50) 4, K, 6 (2 players)
    IOS checks, MP bets $25, IOS raises to $197.3, MP calls $83.70 (All-In).

    Turn: ($335.50) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($335.50) 8 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $335.50

    Results in white below:
    IOS has As Ac (one pair, aces).
    MP has Kh Ah (one pair, kings).
    Outcome: IOS wins $335.50.

    People let me tell you about my best friends...
    His r/r was way too big for KK, I think.

    Good play, you need to mix up AA, esp. since you knew it would be HU postflop.
