$200 NL HE Full Ring: Brick and Mortar Casino...pocket aces get wiped out
Here is the situation, sorry for no standardized hand info, this was a game at a real casino.
$1/$2 no limit holdem.
10 players seated.
I am in late position, two behind the button.
I am dealt Ah Ad
One raiser in the seat before me to $5
I re-raise to $15.
Five players call $15.
Flop comes down Js 10h 4c
I raise to $50.
I get 4 folds and a re-raise for $50.
I call.
Turn is a 9c
Villian checks, I check.
River is a 6h.
Villian puts me all in.
I call and lose to a set of fours.
Ok....I know I did wrong, but here is my thought process, both what i was thinking when i did it and what i think i should have done.
First...i think my raise was good but perhaps i should have gone $25. $25 was not unusual for this table. $25 might have scared pocket 4's...but i'd think $15 would have done the trick. Do you really call 7X the big blind with 44...i guess this guy does.
BTW...no read. I wasnt at the table long enough.
Here is where i think i ****ed up.
1.) When he re-raised i could have folded.
-i was thinking he re-raised on a straight draw, maybe AK or AQ. I would take my AA against an open ended or definitly gut shot draw.
2.) He checked the turn which was a 9. That card makes a straight. He checked to see what i would do and I like an idiot checked. I should have pushed...i may have gotten a fold by fronting the straight.
I never considered that he had pocket 4's. Though, now, it makes sense...
He limped in infront of me....and re-raised the flop when he hit his set.
I was just thinking who the hell calls the pre-flop raise with 44? I thought, hey, he is slow playing AK or AQ and now he is threatening the straight.
I'm not angry, but, i want to take away a lesson from this...
so, anyone that can think of a better maneuver, let me know.
