$10 NLHE 6-max: Overplayed AA, bad river call?

Bleugh. Didn't have many hands on villain, maybe x/c or x/f river? Having quite a nice session up to this point.

Calling an UTG open with A5o... I don't see anything wrong with your hand. It's hard to believe he has a 5 especially on the river. TT and JJ are possibilities, but you have to call his bet considering the stats. I know the sample is very small, but the player doesn't look solid to me and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets crazy with AJ.

Yeah this is a snap-call, I'd even consider shoving hoping he overvalues Jx.

unlucky

well this is really a bit unlucky but since you were out of position you could tried to slow down since the turn ... however this is easy to say in hindsight and the way you continued playing it on that board your aces will be good most of the time.

So yeah its a bit unlucky to your opponent having a five there. But had you bit a bit conservative you might have been able to loose a little less chips by slowing down since the turn as you were out of position and assuming villian doesn't go for all your chips at the turn or river.:toilet:

I would had shoved the river. If he has a 5 it is just a cooler but a lot more times he will have a J or soome kind of middle pair or even AK, AQ, KQ . He would had played the hand the same way. Maniacs rarely hit but they put their stack on the middle all of the time.
Do not slowdown. You need a lot more history to know if a check on the river will make him shove.

imo u played correctly, i mean the stats was on ur favour, u were just unlucky he got the 5

literally a snap.. great flop for you, blank turn. your way ahead of villains shoving range. I would expect villains range to be 555JJ over 75% of the time in this spot.

Every once and awhile they have it. Don't be results oriented though.

Don't think you should of ever slowed down there, your only losing to a 5 OTF and OTT as with those stats I'd say he always 3 bets JJ and TT. He calls your raise with any PP except maybe TT+ (88+ in the worst scenario). So you still beat any J (worst case J7-AJ) and 22-99 (22-77 worst case).

If he's clicking it back on the river there's never any argument here for folding IMO. Valid argument for shoving also but with so few hands I'd prefer to just call personally. Your never getting away when a five is so unlikely and fills him up to so many lesser holdings.

Actually jamming is much higher EV than calling, and folding is just burning money.

People almost never fold a full house. You could shove here and get a call from just about any pocket pair, a single J, or sometimes even a naked A that doesn't believe you.

Shoving the river is pretty good here. Calling is better than folding though.

You have to pay him off.

Many hands you beat except the one his holding.

Its good in your part you just call on the river.

Hi man !

After reading the about how the game went...the only think I can say is that you should probably known after the Turn that he is holding some kind of 5 as he snap called your post Flop and Turn raise > yes he might be just bluffing with any 2 but as he re-Raised you on the River > not many player do that with bluff.

You should mark this player as Ace mater > One who plays all Ax combinations.

You only got very unlucky as A5 beat AA ... no worries....in long term you should be making money with Pocket Rockets !

Good Luck @TAbles

How do you know that?
His stats show that he is a maniac. His range is virtually any 2 cards. He will put his stack on the line with a lot of dumb things not only a 5.
