| OK, I give...need input. This was the first hand of my session yesterday. It is days like this I question my sanity (and this seems to happening a lot of time, I’m on the bad side of variance atm). 5PL (in for the 5.00) in the BB with AsAc. UTG+3 (2.58) raises (.17) SB (13.45) re-raises to (.35) I re-raise to 1.25 UTG+3 calls the 1.25 SB folds. Flop Js 3s 5h First to act, I put UTG+3 all in for his remaining 1.33, get a snap call. UTG+3 has JJ. Ship it over with all the blanks on the turn/river. Now maybe I had a bad read (Put him on KK/QQ to call 1/2 of his chip stack off). Personally I would have laid down JJ/TT and maybe even QQ when I see a third re-raise. I know not everyone plays that way, I get that. What I'm thinking is that I made a mistake after the flop. During the hand I figured with the flat call gave him a high pocket pair. AA would have raised me again, but this might make sense for KK/QQ, borderline JJ/TT (Personally I would have folded JJ/TT). What I believe I should have done with the flop was check it and let him commit the chips, but I struggled with allowing the opponent get a free card. So betting the 1.33 he had left was about 1/2 the current pot but also putting him all in. I simply think he was commited to the hand regardless of the flop and I had case of bad luck. So in the event of trying to better myself I was wondering what any of your thoughts might be, I appreciate thoughts/comments. |

| re: OK, I give...need input. poker if hes not folding to the rereraise of his bet from under gun, then you couldnt get him off JJ preflop, especially with his chip stack, im postive he'd join u all in pre flop, and sure he'd join you after the flop even if an over hit, sounds like a cold deck situation to me, at least he didnt have more chips. |

| u cannot consider anything but putting him allin here. you have put in 1.25 already and he only had 1.33 left. presuming there is about $3 or so in the pot at this pointb and a very dry flop where realistically only a set beats you (he'd have to be really bad to have flopped 2 pair here) then folding because he might have a set is ridiculous. He played it horribly as with JJ in his spot he should fold or shove. just callin for half ur stack in a CG is just plain awful. |

| You can't control the result of any given hand, only whether each action you take is favorable (right or wrong is too binary) based on the situation as you know / evaluate it at that moment. You're going to lose the max on this hand. Trying to figure out how you might have lost less is a counter-productive exercise since the only way(s) to have done so would have required playing the hand worse than you did. |

| Don't know if this will make you feel better, but just doing the math for sets, it works out as follows: 21% of the time, he'll hit his card, but 16% of the times he hits, you also hit, so he wins about 17.4% of the time, you win 82.6%. Even if he always folds on the flop when he is destined to lose, your expected value is 82.6% * $1.25 = $1.03 per hand. His expected value is 17.4% * $2.58 = $0.45 per hand. Conclusion: You should make this play every chance you get. |

You got almost 50% of villain's stack in preflop with AA. Do you really have any question that you played the hand correctly? Vent threads belong here: http://www.cardschat.com/f46/ (http://www.cardschat.com/f46/) for future reference. Would be nice to see you post some actual tough decision hands though. We get so few PL HA posts. |
