If Lindgren raises the flop, he most likely gets called. Same with the turn. He basically lost the minimum here. The min raise UTG is the only questionable move I see. I would either raise more or just call to repop it.
given the blind size its easy to see that this is the first few level of the tourney and there is no need to go crazy about pocket aces, if you noticed AA was actually behind on the flop, and only a 52% favorite on the turn.
@snakecuto Right, but the purpose of Aces is more to push off garbage hands then to lure in big time draw hands. The only hand he wants to slow play is a lower pocket or an A K of some sort. Flat calling preflop with rockets is suicide in small blinds
@snakecuto thats why you can ship it perflop and essentially give away that you have aces only to not have this situation come up. For if you allow hands like 55 cheap pots then they have awesome implied odds hitting a set 12% of the time on the flop and then take the aces down 88% of the time.
However, in EP limp/mega raise is awesome and if you don't get raised, play smart on the streets.
A great player said, "to see if a player has played his hand well, you have to see how he played with the discovery cards". So, apart the call on the river, the hand has been played so .. PERFECT!
he played this hand like the pro that he is.....it was an unfavorable flop for aces and not time to get overly aggresssive with them......if he got aggressive he wasnt gonna run this guy off the hand and he would have lost more money.....good players dont feel like they HAVE to win every time they get a couple nice hole cards......well done eric
I think a big raise like 400 to 600, and bet in the flop 1200 or more to the player fold and who knows what could be happened with a big raise and a big bet...
Actually, Erick just lost minimum there. A wet flop, lousy turn, and hideous river. I think he just played it perfectly. And, btw, that min raise preflop, it's standard in tourneys so deep.
@pablosgscr ,No , i don't think this is "one way to play AA " , i like Lindgren but i'm very sure he make a mistake because he not raised the turn...but ,he knows what he did ,maybe that Myers did some bluffs before.
This is just another unnecessary comment critiquing the play and outcome of the hand. I had the advantage of seeing both players cards and now somehow feel that I'm a better player than these two WSOP bracelet candidates so, I'll attempt to pretend I know what I'm talking about by dissing them with a whole bunch of fancy poker terms I learned while playing penny ante tables on PokerStars.
Lindgren is a great player but he did make several mistakes here... 1. min raise preflop lets too many players in. 2. he never took the betting lead after the flop so had no way to get a read on his opponents holdings 3. bad river call, his opponent bet the flop, turn and now river as well.. unlikely he would do that with just top pair.
"He lost the minimum" - Eric was ahead of Myers' range (pls notice the word range not the random hand he was holding in this case). Your goal in such spot is to get the max value, not to lose the minimum
"Pair flush draw on the flop, a str8 draw" - .Is where the most of the value comes from when you got a strong hand.
"best players don't want big pairs at 50/100 blinds" - They do. You are still as ahead of your opponents' ranges as you are w/ 10BB.
Losing a hand does not mean you played it bad. The three players played their hands well.
the 6 4 suited is much more easier to play than the AA.
Don't listen to InternetAesHole. First, the suited babies are the best hands to beat big pairs (with a 20%), in that case a 6 4 suited is better than the KJ.
Myers chose to play it to get the position, and the flop showed at worse a favorable coin flip for him. Lindgren saved what could be saved.
Not only is he getting called all the way down after the flop and turn, but if he raises at either stage, he faces the possibility of a re pop at either stage or an all in shove (though maybe not this ealry in the tourney) and then what does he do.
Not beating much except a bluff and a draw which could end up coming
Lingren did nothing wrong in this hand. Not a big fan of the PF min raise, however he was still getting called anyway if he made the standard 2.5-3x raise,

He played his aces relatively well. He was out of position and decided to hide his aces by not contibetting on the flop to make his opponent pay him off with a weaker hand, e.g. a smaller pocketpair or some kind of draw. There's no way he can raise at any point cause he would just make worse hands fold and only get called or reraised by better hands like a set. He got unlucky with the river card, maybe he could've even fold his aces after his opponent 3barrelled. But after all his play was ok
Eric should have shoved after the flop - no straight or flush was possible YET even though Myers was a slight favorate with a pair and a flush draw though.
all those draws on the turn wtf you have to reraise or shove the turn n pray he hasn't flopped a set this is what usually happens when you try to extract to much value from Pocket AA
@WaspSnG how doesn't this make sense he min raises pre giving everybody with air correct odds to limp in with..Then on the turn when the 4 comes this hits villains range so hard considering the situation giving him combo draws when he flats here that lets me know that he was worried about a set or two pair..
@MoveRed Pros don't shove and pray...they actually know what they're doing. This would be a typical amatuer move, not one that a poker pro like Lindgren would ever consider doing unless he had the correct read on his opponent.
I like the small tells that no one really noticed for example when Lindgren looked at his aces he instantly looked away as if to look uninterested. If people pick up on this then they will know that 90% of the time he has a big hand and unintentionally tried to look weak.
I agree with the way he played it, considering he wants to play small pot poker, but imho the river is a fold, too many hands got there: the 64 openender hit, J9h hit, 76 and 65 got there + the 8 hits hands like T8, 78 or even 85 which make up at least a wide variety of the foes limping range and he still cant beat a set of 5s, 7s or Ts. He only beats one pair type of hands which would check behind on the river most of the time or dry flushdraws, so essentially only bluffs. So fold it :)
@MrTritratralla i agree with u that lot of draws are completed on river but u have to consider also he basicly min raise early pos end he check calls all the way if u play ur aces like that u cant fold river oponent also would bet there with j10 a10 jj pure for value and position so tbh never a fold if u play aces like that
@victorlwd I think it is a bad move to put in a third value bet with just one pair, expecially just a 10, because it leaves you vulnerable to a check-raise bluff where you have to make a hero call to win. So imo, a decent player will be quite happy with 2 streets of value and check AT behind. Especially since the river value bet is kinda big (not considering the pot but considering the 20k starting stack) I don't think it gets called by worse then AT a lot of the time
50-100 b,raises only 200 with AA?,beat deserved!,slowplay KK or QQ after the flop,but not AA,you risk all your stack for nothing,thats the wsop not many donks there to fool
he played it perfect, if he raised, the other guy was never gunna fold with all those draws so check call was the best way to play that hand in this situation. i think anyway but who am i!
EL played it ok. i think he should've raised 4-5bb if not more pf w/ AA though. he was looking for a cheap showdown with aa. he didnt want to overplay his one pair after the flop and was hoping his opponent was bluffing or had top pair or overpair
I enjoy reading the comments of the people calling Lindgren a douche. Just keep shoving with em aces guys you'll make loads of money. And complain to your mommy about the bad beats you take. You don't see Lindgren losing much here. That's why he's there and you guys are using play chips. Cheers!
@Midnite4Life777 That's true. But the other 2 players only called. The other 2 could have anything. I know it's normal to c-bet in this spot to find out where you are but if you're out of position, really how much information can you get if you opponent flat calls. He just didn't wanna get knocked out of the tournament that early.
Im sure he doesnt play that AA the same all the time. Blinds were low, he was trying to trap. It just didnt work, the right cards didnt come big deal, next hand. If you think you are all pros, cause you can bad mouth his play in hindsight, you make me laugh!
that was just bad luck. he was never going to win that pot without a ridiculous overbet and taking down nearly nothing from the pot. he could have folded the river, but maybe seeing the guy's cards was worth it for him.
Min raise is so dumb - what does a min raise do UTG anyway. Then a check on a dry board and a call on a drawing board - he is so bad. Watch him elsewhere - no game at all.
he lost the minimum... Myers was never folding at any point unless lingren pushed the flop...
pair flush draw on the flop.. then turned a str8 draw on top of that... Lingren played it fine after he min raised preflop..
YOu don't realize that the best players don't want big pairs at 50/100 blinds with a 20K stack.. its crazy.. u get no value for your hand and get all the suited connectors calling cause u can only raise it to 300..
Well Played Lingren after you didn't get reraised preflop...
@PeiPkrDaddy Lingren slow played his aces like an idiot. On pre-flop when You have pockets, you raise PERIOD to weed out the shit hands. By not doing that he allowed a shitty hand to play. On the flop there was a potential flush AND straight draw. with low cards on board..why do you check it? Considering meyers checked the pre-flop its obvious he didnt have pockets, so the aces are winning after the flop, so you fucking bet and prevent the potential straight or flush to fuck you over later. NEWB
@PeiPkrDaddy Lindgren was winning at EVERY point of the hand until the river, he slow played his pockets like an idiot and let Myers play for cheap so he can hit his flush or straight. How the hell can you say he played it well? he lost the fucking hand. God i wish i could play against more idiots like you. I'll take all of your money, then your car, your house, and your fucking wife. Idiot
@jansuch You're a fucking idiot, Lindgren was WINNING AT THE FLOP (quit looking at the probability chances like a fucking newb)...since when did 4 suited cards (not 5), a low pair beat pocket aces? Fucking idiot. The only hand that could be beating Lindgren after the flip was pocket 5's, pocket 7's or pocket 10's. Pre-Flop you raise to leech out the dinky hands, pre-flop you raise substantially to scare away draws, turn you raise even more to make the guy playing for the draw fold. Fucking newb
@InternetAesHole "The only hand that could be beating Lindgren after the flip was pocket 5's, pocket 7's or pocket 10's. " More awesomeness. Google "ranking of poker hands" and tell us what hand you notice comes in between One Pair and Three of a Kind.
Congratulations on being the only person in the history of poker to critisize someone for slowplaying their hand when they were an underdog.
@jansuch You're a fucking idiot. Top pair beats a draw any fucking day, how fucking stupid are you? A draw ISN'T A HAND! First off Lindgren LIMPED in with his pocket aces trying to force action, Then knowing that their are 2 hearts on the flop he CONTINUES to slow play...allowing his competitor more chances to hit on the turn and eventually the river. You're such a fucking imbecile. wow.
@jansuch it was a legitimately creepy movie you faggot and rated as the best horror movie in years. learn poker first, than learn your movies, and lastly what the hell does a taste in movies have anything to do with poker? I mean do you play poker vicariously through casino royal? Slobbering doofus of a human being you are. Taking the time to write to your idiocy makes me more stupid. You watch child porn all day don't see me bashing your poker knowledge because of it. LMAO
@InternetAesHole Very true. You're a poker idiot because you can't tell the difference between a preflop limp and a preflop minraise, not because you follow the Video Game Awards. My bad.
@jansuch you're a moron, when you have pocket aces and you do a minimum raise that's essentially limping in. Do you want me to draw it out on a piece of paper with a purple crayon and staple it to your protruding troglodyte forehead you slobbering oaf?
@InternetAesHole "when you have pocket aces and you do a minimum raise that's essentially limping in" That's the most awesome poker quote I have ever read. I have to reprint it here just in case you decide to delete your post after you sober up.
@jansuch and what fucking video game awards? even if i did its better than reading some sermon from a priest about how to fuck children and get away with it, sick freak. i should send your ip address to chris hanson so he can pay you a visit.
@InternetAesHole That video was a presentation about all th eevidence we have that Jesus probably didn't exist. You should check it out, it's crazy just how little evidence there is out there for him.
""when you have pocket aces and you do a minimum raise that's essentially limping in" I just had to quote that again one more. More please! LMAO
@jansuch You're telling me a person would be playing 5,7 5,10, or 7,10 pre-flop? lol, idiot. Yes 2 pair beats a single pair you doofus, i was talking about the fucking pre-flop where there was a minimum raise. You have to be playing with downsyndrome tards.
@InternetAesHole the problem you come across here is there were more combinations of cards that could hit the table to give Lindgreen's opponent the best hand so even if his hand was not made yet he still had plenty of outs, more outs than not in fact, Any 5, any 6 or any heart puts him ahead.
@InternetAesHole Save for the fact that the guy playing for the draw sits on maybe 16 outs (and even better on flush chase) while your aces sit on 2 or, even better, on none if two of your fellow minded geniouses raised preflop with A6, A3 offsuit etc. P.S.: Player X or Y is WINNING AT THE FLOP only and only if the opponent folds. Otherwise there's turn and river. I just love 2nd hand aggresive opponents like you.
@maddahy MORON, he slow played the pre-flop allowing some shit hands to be involved like a 5-6, that was his 1st mistake. 2nd mistake on the flop he slow played AGAIN, as nothing but a pocket pair that hits for trips or a 2 pair could beat him. Then the turn, and there's a chance that someone who with a greaseball 6,8 or 6,3 hand hit his straight, He kept playing like an idiot allowing whoever to hit his flush or straight on the river. You make BIG bets to weed out draws, IDIOT.
@jansuch Just because you may win a few games against your neanderthal friends, doesn't make you a fucking expert. "OMGSZ HIS PERCENTAGE IS HIGJHERS HE WINNINGSSZ" fucking idiot.
With aces, raise pre-flop and always raise on the flop to see what happens, I hate new player that min-raise with aces and shove on the flop when they see a draw, the best thing to do on the flop is just raise
??? whats wrong with this play? thats a horrible flop for ACES! if he would raise preflop myers would it call with 5 6 suited,,,there is another video where lindgren played aces and he did really played the other hand bad but not this one,,losing the minimun...
And why would you min raise preflop AA, small ball or not thats like inviting 2 or more people into the pot which is a NO NO. People these days love to play drawy hands, so why would you want 3 possible drawy hand enter the pot and all you hold is a 1 pair hand. (this is hypothetically speaking, i know there wasnt 3 people into the put.)
You people watch too much WPT and other final table poker tournaments on TV. The early stages of a tournament this big, with starting stacks of M100+, the 2x-3x PF raise is so standard.
You do not have to blow out the pot size with AA so early in the tournament with stacks sooo deep. Once the hand is a lock, then you can use some other betting techniques to get the pot bigger.
Its not a matter of just bust a huge raise because you have AA and blow everyone out of the water.
very donk like. his preflop raise was tooooo small. he bet higher and 4 5 would have been gone. k j might have called. then he checks every time allowing his opponent to hit the straight. be bets on the flop 4 5 might stay on the draw. he bets on the turn 4 5 is outta there. so he could have gotten 4 5 out with a better pre flop raise, flop raise and turn raise. idiot.
@joeisthegame lol you are calling Lindgren an idiot? Ok let's see, first of all the guy had 56 of hearts, not 45. When he would've made it 3x BB pre 56 suited may have called anyways because they are so deep stacked. On the flop 56 would call almost any bet as you said, and on the turn 56 would be outta there with another bet after adding an open ended straight draw as well? I don't think so. Eric lost the minimum here, although I would've played it more aggresive as well, but he isn't an idiot
@drbdrbrobertdrbdrb 4 5, 5 6 whatever. this was a idiot play. he is not a idiot cause he is a good player but this was a idiot play. i will take AA over open ended straight any day. i would take AA over 5 6 preflop anyday also. so if you dont raise with AA with that kind of a flop. what the hell do you raise with?
@joeisthegame pff wtf, I'm not saying I would not raise, or that I don't like AA over an open ended straight DRAW (+flush draw). I'm only saying that the 56 guy would NOT have folded the turn anyways, so Lindgren lost the minumum. You don't need to tell me that you take AA over 5 6 preflop anyday....you better pay attention to the point i'm trying to make instead.
@drbdrbrobertdrbdrb if it was joe smoe and not eric lindgren people would be calling him the donk of the year. this was a poorly played hand by lindgren
@joeisthegame have I ever said he played it great? No! I mostly agree with the fact he should' ve played it stronger, I just said both hands probably would've gone to the showdown anyways (especially 56, since he was open ended + flush draw) so that in this case Eric lost the minumum. Yea, he didn't play it strong, but it worked out for him.
@grimm6jack he would call a reraise cuz of flush draw straight draw and he had a pair. Do not discuss poker with me. Obviously u played poker for less than 3 years
@kalee6 no... i mean if lindgren RAISE PRE FLOP not flop... or didnt you understand? lol and even if i play poker less than 3 years i know almost everything about it! i have the right timing and the right thinking to play poker!
@grimm6jack he was playing small ball in the early stage of the tourney. Dont be cocky cuz even pros learn as they play. Poker is a game with limitless strategies and knowledge. I highly doubt that you are close to mastering poker
@kalee6 you highly doubt? wtf? you havent even seen me playing poker and still you say that? man shut the fuck up! you are dumb idiot! just by saying that youa re dumb! 1 advise! NEVER SLOW PLAY ACES PRE FLOP! NEVER! even if you hit a SET NEVER SLOW play( you can only slowplay when you hit like full house qudas or straight flush on the flop)(or the nut flush).
@grimm6jack your response is like looking at a mirror of me two years ago. Obviously, u havent heard of a strategy called small ball. This is an early stage of the tourney. Erik did not want to make a big pot in the early stage of the tourney. Make it simple, he did not want to lose a large portion of his stack in the beggining.
@kalee6 RAISING pre flop 400 would be ENOUGH for the guy with 65 fold... only the guy with KJ (or K10 dont remeber xD) could probably call and there fore he could SLOWPLAY! because a raise of 200 almost any 2 card can be called and therefor HE gives the opportunity for them to hit something!i i am 100% sure if he raised pre flop with 400 or 500+ the 65 would fold and therefore he would MOST probably would win the pot (unless the other guy moves all in or makes BIG raises etc...)
@grimm6jack like i said it is an early stage of the tourney and he is using small ball. If u dont understand what i am saying, u dont know a lot about poker. How many times I have to tell u. U can protect you hand and be aggressive later on in the tourney.
@grimm6jack You can start being aggressive at a later stage of the tourney. I think u dont know how to change gears, or u play a lot of cash games, or a 1500chip tourneys. Erik is not slowplaying if u didnt know.
@KuppaTee like i said a million times, he is using small ball in the early phase of the tournament. If u dont understand what im saying, learn more poker plz
@kalee6 I know exactly what small ball poker is, thanks. And min raising with aces is almost always a bad idea, you gotta play them hard or you're going to get sucked out on more often than usual. A little larger raise and he would have won a small pot instead of losing a big one. And you don't have to be a genius to figure out which one of those is better. Plus he got no information the way he just called it down. He should have check-raised the flop and any realistic hand would pay him off
@kalee6 i think that when you have AA you have to make not a very big raise, but not the smallest, because with the smallest anyone who wants to risk will call. if you do a bigger raise, some small cards will fold and you will play only against bigger cards. here for example, if he had made a bigger raise at first, i think that K J would have called, but i'm not sure if 5 6 would call.
And anyone that does not agree with you (and as you can see we are many), does not mean that don't know poker.
@kalee6 if your gona play aces like that then you might as well muck them preflop, Aces should always be pushin the action and if your not making people pay to see their draws then thats kinda nitty if you ask me. Yeah they might catch their draw sometimes but if they paid the price to see the future streets then thats on them. Its not about loosing the minimum with AA its about winning maxium value and giving you opponents bad odds to draw.
@sjerseyb856 I said it a million times... its early stage of the tournament... this play is acceptable.... If u don't understand what i am talking about, go learn some more poker plz...
@Juntahh it is actually a good strategy early in the tournament, with good reads, and against aggressive opponents. If u don't understand what my point is, you are an average or novice player
@kalee6 its only good if your good enough to lay it down, you said with good reads..... was it a good read to call 2500 chips with 1 pair after the board completes multiple straights .... how did lindgren do in that tournament? exactly.
like everyone said, great play by erick. he was just playing it safe by check calling while still getting a showdown. with deep stacks, theres no reason to go broke off one pair unless you have a really GREAT read on opponent
bigger raise pre-flop, not calling the river. only mistakes.

"He lost the minimum" - Eric was ahead of Myers' range (pls notice the word range not the random hand he was holding in this case). Your goal in such spot is to get the max value, not to lose the minimum

Losing a hand does not mean you played it bad. The three players played their hands well.

Don't listen to InternetAesHole. First, the suited babies are the best hands to beat big pairs (with a 20%), in that case a 6 4 suited is better than the KJ.
Myers chose to play it to get the position, and the flop showed at worse a favorable coin flip for him. Lindgren saved what could be saved.

Not only is he getting called all the way down after the flop and turn, but if he raises at either stage, he faces the possibility of a re pop at either stage or an all in shove (though maybe not this ealry in the tourney) and then what does he do.
Not beating much except a bluff and a draw which could end up coming

Lingren did nothing wrong in this hand. Not a big fan of the PF min raise, however he was still getting called anyway if he made the standard 2.5-3x raise,

He played his aces relatively well. He was out of position and decided to hide his aces by not contibetting on the flop to make his opponent pay him off with a weaker hand, e.g. a smaller pocketpair or some kind of draw. There's no way he can raise at any point cause he would just make worse hands fold and only get called or reraised by better hands like a set. He got unlucky with the river card, maybe he could've even fold his aces after his opponent 3barrelled. But after all his play was ok

@MoveRed Pros don't shove and pray...they actually know what they're doing. This would be a typical amatuer move, not one that a poker pro like Lindgren would ever consider doing unless he had the correct read on his opponent.

pablosgscr 8 months ago 8
I agree with the way he played it, considering he wants to play small pot poker, but imho the river is a fold, too many hands got there: the 64 openender hit, J9h hit, 76 and 65 got there + the 8 hits hands like T8, 78 or even 85 which make up at least a wide variety of the foes limping range and he still cant beat a set of 5s, 7s or Ts. He only beats one pair type of hands which would check behind on the river most of the time or dry flushdraws, so essentially only bluffs. So fold it :)
MrTritratralla 8 months ago
@MrTritratralla i agree with u that lot of draws are completed on river but u have to consider also he basicly min raise early pos end he check calls all the way if u play ur aces like that u cant fold river oponent also would bet there with j10 a10 jj pure for value and position so tbh never a fold if u play aces like that
victorlwd 8 months ago
@victorlwd I think it is a bad move to put in a third value bet with just one pair, expecially just a 10, because it leaves you vulnerable to a check-raise bluff where you have to make a hero call to win. So imo, a decent player will be quite happy with 2 streets of value and check AT behind. Especially since the river value bet is kinda big (not considering the pot but considering the 20k starting stack) I don't think it gets called by worse then AT a lot of the time

@InternetAesHole the problem you come across here is there were more combinations of cards that could hit the table to give Lindgreen's opponent the best hand so even if his hand was not made yet he still had plenty of outs, more outs than not in fact, Any 5, any 6 or any heart puts him ahead.

@InternetAesHole Save for the fact that the guy playing for the draw sits on maybe 16 outs (and even better on flush chase) while your aces sit on 2 or, even better, on none if two of your fellow minded geniouses raised preflop with A6, A3 offsuit etc. P.S.: Player X or Y is WINNING AT THE FLOP only and only if the opponent folds.

You people watch too much WPT and other final table poker tournaments on TV. The early stages of a tournament this big, with starting stacks of M100+, the 2x-3x PF raise is so standard.
You do not have to blow out the pot size with AA so early in the tournament with stacks sooo deep. Once the hand is a lock, then you can use some other betting techniques to get the pot bigger.
Its not a matter of just bust a huge raise because you have AA and blow everyone out of the water.
Louie212121 1 year ago
very donk like. his preflop raise was tooooo small. he bet higher and 4 5 would have been gone. k j might have called. then he checks every time allowing his opponent to hit the straight. be bets on the flop 4 5 might stay on the draw. he bets on the turn 4 5 is outta there. so he could have gotten 4 5 out with a better pre flop raise, flop raise and turn raise. idiot.

@joeisthegame lol you are calling Lindgren an idiot? Ok let's see, first of all the guy had 56 of hearts, not 45. When he would've made it 3x BB pre 56 suited may have called anyways because they are so deep stacked. On the flop 56 would call almost any bet as you said, and on the turn 56 would be outta there with another bet after adding an open ended straight draw as well? I don't think so. Eric lost the minimum here, although I would've played it more aggresive as well, but he isn't an idiot

@joeisthegame pff wtf, I'm not saying I would not raise, or that I don't like AA over an open ended straight DRAW (+flush draw).

kalee6 1 year ago
@kalee6 RAISING pre flop 400 would be ENOUGH for the guy with 65 fold... only the guy with KJ (or K10 dont remeber xD) could probably call and there fore he could SLOWPLAY! because a raise of 200 almost any 2 card can be called and therefor HE gives the opportunity for them to hit something!i i am 100% sure if he raised pre flop with 400 or 500+ the 65 would fold and therefore he would MOST probably would win the pot (unless the other guy moves all in or makes BIG raises etc...)

@kalee6 I know exactly what small ball poker is, thanks. And min raising with aces is almost always a bad idea, you gotta play them hard or you're going to get sucked out on more often than usual. A little larger raise and he would have won a small pot instead of losing a big one. And you don't have to be a genius to figure out which one of those is better. Plus he got no information the way he just called it down. He should have check-raised the flop and any realistic hand would pay him off
KuppaTee 1 year ago
@KuppaTee i know thats the standard play. Erik is playing small ball
kalee6 1 year ago
@kalee6 i think that when you have AA you have to make not a very big raise, but not the smallest, because with the smallest anyone who wants to risk will call. if you do a bigger raise, some small cards will fold and you will play only against bigger cards. here for example, if he had made a bigger raise at first, i think that K J would have called, but i'm not sure if 5 6 would call.
And anyone that does not agree with you (and as you can see we are many), does not mean that don't know poker.

@kalee6 if your gona play aces like that then you might as well muck them preflop, Aces should always be pushin the action and if your not making people pay to see their draws then thats kinda nitty if you ask me. Yeah they might catch their draw sometimes but if they paid the price to see the future streets then thats on them. Its not about loosing the minimum with AA its about winning maxium value and giving you opponents bad odds to draw.

Eric has over 20k in chips, and doesn't need to be building a huge pot out of position with one pair.
He has much better showdown value keeping the pot small.
And lastly, you can see that against the 56h he is mathematically an underdog with AA.
All the more reason to play small ball.
