mvv01: -- --
Kiriath: As Ad
balipshous1: -- --
ScamsTongue: -- --
royal_flush: -- --
asid42: -- --
Siv14: -- --

Pre-flop:

mvv01 folds. Kiriath calls. balipshous1 calls.
ScamsTongue calls. royal_flush calls. asid42 folds.
Siv14 folds. Rungy folds. Billehthekid checks.

Decided to limp since it was a wery agressive table, figuring id catch somebody with theyr pants down!

Flop (board: 8s 4d Th):

Billehthekid checks. Kiriath checks. balipshous1
bets $2.75. ScamsTongue folds. royal_flush calls.
Billehthekid folds. Kiriath raises to $9.
balipshous1 folds. royal_flush calls.

Knew Balip was full of it, was abit conserned about royal_flushs call though, so figured I might as well just take it down right there with a big raise. Was surpriced to get a call.

Turn (board: 8s 4d Th Ts):

Kiriath checks. royal_flush bets $23.50. Kiriath
calls.

I didnt like that river, but figured since he flat out called both the previous raises on the flop he had to have two pair or a set ( gulp ), but since he made such a huge raise I figured he either had two broken pairs, betting in desperation, or was just full of it. So I called =D

River (board: 8s 4d Th Ts 6h):

Kiriath bets $.50. royal_flush goes all-in for $3.70.
Kiriath calls.



Showdown:

royal_flush shows Jc Jd.
royal_flush has Jc Jd 8s Th Ts: two pair, jacks and tens.
Kiriath shows As Ad.
Kiriath has As Ad 8s Th Ts: two pair, aces and tens.


Hand #5868183-2066 Summary:

$3 is raked from a pot of $77.90.
Kiriath wins $74.90 with two pair, aces and tens.
----------------------------------------------------------------

If he had made that river raise like 1/3-2/3 pot id prolly fold it though =/

What u guys think ? Good play or lucky he didnt have me ?

AND my cheapest AA loss ever, lol.

Why do you consider hand 2 a success? A re raise pre flop flop picks you up chips, a real bet on the flop gets you even more chips... you have the best hand right now but it's vunerable, make a real bet here. I hate the check too but if you're going to check raise, for gods sake check raise. What hand did you see him folding for 100 more?

To summarize:

Pre flop - could have won 120 chips or so
Flop - could have won 200 chips
Turn/River... I shudder to think what you were planning on doing had he not disconnected and had raised you here... at the least you've turned plus 200 into minus 270 - why would you bet when the worst possible card comes off (short of maybe the 9c)?

figured he would call the turn bet with a weak queen or so, but ya, I got realy lucky he disconnectet =D Else id prolly lost a reraise as well as the raise on the river =)

About the whole play I just like slowplaying aces, and yea, I DO lay em down sometimes =) Just that it got potential for a huge pot instead of just picking up the blinds in a early round of a sng, ( wich is worthless imo ).

slowplaying aces is a great way to lose money. see hand 2.
