If he had any good draws on the flop and maybe a pair you should play AA very carefully.. I think this was perfectly played. I have lost so many pots due to hands like these. i just cant fold my aces cause aces happen to be the best pocket hand... Doesnt matter how much you bet on the flop if he has an open ended straight draw and maybe a pair of jacks (QJ for example).
there are so many draws out there, turn is an easy vbet. If he has a T or KQ you loose, this is true but there are so many other things he can have. If he is "a bit of a calling station" he may well call with a J,Q or flush draw. Sure you are pretty often beat but you are more likely ahead and a lot of the hands that trail to you will call. The T on the turn is not a bad card.
lol u were too ready to fold here, u still have a strong hand in AA, especially heads up, you will be ahead of the vast majority of hands that he is holding here. Its like right when you seen the flop you were ready to fold allready. Just cause people like to play j10? wether he had you beat or not, you played the hand in a way that pretty much gave him the pot
Do you use tournament indicator on ring games aswell or do you use both holdem and tournament indicator? Also, what would be the cheapest way for me to get holdem/tournament indicator to my full tilt account?
Hi turtleknife I noticed that you play on Full tilt poker a lot, have you had any problems logging on to your account in the past month, Im just wondering because i havnt been able to log on in like a month and a half? NED HELP!!!!
do people really play online poker with some kind of statistic bot running? It's gonna suck ass when you decide to play live and, to your astonishment, the other people won't let you play with a laptop by your side.
@ryunaki live players fucking suck. a winner at NL50 could crush donks at the casino. live players have no concept of pot odds/implied odds/fold equity/ etcetc
Just go all in pre flop and get it over with! Nah not really unless you were shortstacked, but it's easy to fold aces in that position but this is a very good video for any newbies out there!
i dont think checking behind on the flop is a good play at all, you will get a call out of lots of drawing hands and the chances that you are beaten there are pretty slim so you should extract value from your aces, i dont understand why people are saying checking is a good idea..
TurtleKnife I think you played that hand well. I know how hard it is to give AA but sometimes you got to give them up. Im not downing Full tilt cuz it happens on all the sites but I only win about 20% of the time with AA on full tilt. thats with only 1 other person involved with the pot its horrible. I sometimes dont even play AAs bc i have lost so many times with them. Any tips as to why this keeps happenign to me? please reply
Yeah i know that, but dont despite the fact that he is bluffing. For instance, u bet half a pot, then check, and then he saw ur check, so he decided to take it down with a pot size bet. If he was having a straight or a trips there was no point to make such a huge bet, usually when ur having a massive hand u bet almost a bit less then a half a pot in order ur opponent to call.
@IspanasOnTop I would easily fold to a bluff there, and be satisfied with losing a small pot. However, his stats don't back that up - I am beat, and only a huge over-bet on the flop MIGHT get him off his hand. Why risk it? That is simply not a profitable play for the stack and payouts here, but I can def see a bet of 400 on the flop being reasonable as well...... np. In the end, a minor difference though.
@IspanasOnTop You made my day. The guy is a tight player following the statistics. What would he call préflop, call the flop with and pot on the river that Aces can beat here? It's a blind fold really.
I can only think of AhKh, but he would've probably reraised that hand préflop and that's it.
He's definitely not playing a suited connector like 6h5h or 4h5h, given his stats.
So you name it mate, name some hands that he has called préflop, called flop and converts into a bluff on the river. GL
ALL I CAN SAY SO BADLY PLAYED ACES ! Why u are slow playing them. After the flop when the pot is 420, bet 400 if he calls then u will know that he has something or he is on a draw. As i said SO BADLY, TERRABLY PLAYED ACES
@IspanasOnTop Really? Another 160 chips added to the flop bet is so much better? I think ANY size bet here you are going to find out that he is willing to play for a bigger pot, which is something that you DON'T want to do against the only other stack at the SnG table. This hand is thin value from the flop on. You have to consider ALL factors, including payout.
@IspanasOnTop Lastly if you've watched any pro play AA with blinds so low you'll see they do the same because of the play being more loose. I'd imagine you lose a lot of hands and get mad because of bad callers simply because you don't know how to read when a situation that becomes dangerous arises and you think because you have AA every hand should be won with them.
Ship allin pre flop with aces early and hope someone calls with AK KK QQ JJ I've even been called by 10s. Some don't agree, but Id rather win a small pot then lose a big one. I've been busted out with aces early in tournaments.
@galeng Why would you check behind and give your opponent a free card if they were drawing? The poster's mistake on the flop was only betting 1/2 pot. 2/3 pot or pot sized bet would be more appropriate imo as a protection bet/information bet. Betting 1/2 pot is getting called by almost anything in that spot and gives you no further info as to whether your opponent is drawing or has a made hand. Checking behind on the flop is the worst of all the possible plays on that flop texture with AA
that hand should never seen the turn card....u gave him 3/1 on the flop u looked weak...he prob floated to the river out played you..ur paranoid man bad play...pot size raise wud do the job if he pushed all in then u knw your beat
i made a sick laydown today. I layed down qq overpair on J86 flop, although i hit the betting hard preflop, two donks allined on the flop and i folded, one donk had J6, other JA . Wtf people call big bets preflop with such a trashy hand as j6o ?
You have to CHECK the flop! There is no point in betting there because of all the drawing hands that will call, potbet or not, and you'll just make the pot bigger and therefore harder to let go.
Check the flop
Check/call the turn, that T is a good card but we want a small pot
Call the river if he bet on the turn, if he checked the turn you bet here. And no, not a potbet! Half the pot looks like a valuebet and therefore dangerous and more effective
@TurtleKnife It's not like you want a big pot with the number of bad rivers/turns that could come (any 8,7,Q,K, possibly J or hearts). so a check behind for pot control or just jam it but considering the blind size I would just check behind wait for the ten to peel and then jam.
Your serious?... for real? are you really asking this question in the youtube comments? Almost makes me think you expect to READ the response and find the stat counter. Next time perhaps read the description maybe? O.o
that was quite an easy fold on the river.. i think u shouldv raised a bit more preflop.. and bet the pot on the flop to see if the aces were good.. i think that guy had like Q10 or QJ kinda hand..
Yeah, easy fold there on the river. However, I would've bet pot on the flop as opposed to half. That way make him pay more to chase out his draw, or find out whether he has a made hand already.
I'm not sure the river was such an easy fold. Most players probably wouldn't bet trips there or the 7. So the only thing he could be betting there is a full house or the queen high straight, but you would think he'd value bet the river. Another thing is you raised pre-flop, on the flop it looked like a continuation bet, he calls, he checks the turn and you check right behind him. He may have thought you were giving up right then and there. I think he missed the flush on the river,
Why would the T on the turn bother you? kills AJ, KJ, and a lot of other hands that he would have called your bet on the flop with. I'd have bet a little more on the flop to be sure he wouldn't call with anything half good (like a T). Remember you have played that from under the gun so he's got to put you on something big too.
Of course after the river it's an easy fold (and you're talking frankly too much about it :-p)
Lost my whole stack yesterday with AA, he called my 3bb raise PF. Flop was QT8. I bet, he pushed...I make him for an idiot with AQ or AT and I called...he flips over J9. I was correct that he was an idiot, but incorrect in not assuming that they'd flopped him the stone cold nuts.
why an idiot? cause he called your raise preflop? 3 times BB is small enough to take a look at the flop with J9. thats how you win big pots. not by waiting for aces all day.
Maybe because it's incredibly weak to cold call OOP pre flop with a hand that is unlikely to be ahead or even have decent equity against a real hand. Keep telling yourself you win big pots by gambling with easily dominated junk hands. I know you think you're going to be the man and flop a straight flush like Sammy Farha but you aren't.
if you playing low stakes you need to raise more pepol always call whit shit hands and AA is not funny to play vs 3 guys.. Today i raised 5 times big b whit JJ and a ashole called whit J 8 off and hits a set of 8
If he had any good draws on the flop and maybe a pair you should play AA very carefully.. I think this was perfectly played. I have lost so many pots due to hands like these. i just cant fold my aces cause aces happen to be the best pocket hand... Doesnt matter how much you bet on the flop if he has an open ended straight draw and maybe a pair of jacks (QJ for example).
