10NL hates me.

Results 1 to 6 of 6
  1. #1

    Default 10NL hates me.

    Just got :Jc: :10c: in MP, one limper (v.ss) before me so I call.
    Flop: :Ac: :Ks:
    UTG bets 0.30, two callers.
    Turn: :Ad:
    UTG bets 0.30, two callers
    River:
    UTG bets 0.60, I raise $2, 1 fold, UTG calls (all-in).

    UTG shows :As: :Ah:

    Next hand go overdonk when from BB my 95o hits for 2p.
    Get called for a pot-sized bet by someone holding QJ. Turn comes up J and I proceed to lose the buy in.

    I should have perhaps picked up on the second, but can you do anything about the first example?
    Blah blah Op Blah blah

    i hate people who limp AA. They either get stacked or occasionally win a huge pot, but on the flipside they're impossible to read.

    You rarely want to pay to draw to a flush or a straight on a paired board. Especially when the pair is aces because people love playing aces and also especially on the turn. You also can't be raising that river with the third best flush possible and behind every FH and of course quads. And if you do raise you can't call his reraise all-in unless the price makes it horrible not to.
    Granted you'll win some hands drawing to a flush on a paired board, but don't let that deceive you. Hands like this will destroy your win rate, because what will you off if you hit your flush? Trips maybe but they might be disciplined enough to fold at 10NL and no worse hands will likely call unless they are held by supreme donks.

    That's a good point. I'll have to think about how to handle these paired boards a lot more carefully.

    But to be clear he bet the weasely $0.6o on the river and I raised to $2 which put him all-in.
    I put him on Ax (but he had a pretty darned good x) which meant he couldn't have hit the flush. AK I would have considered unlikely (based on pf, which of course was a faulty assumption). So A7 or A9 are of course strong possibilities at this level.
