First hand of the session, I think I could have made the squeeze size a we bit bigger with a strong hand oop. The flop check raise was only because there was still two people in the hand and I would rather not play such a big pot oop against two opponents. This obviously didn't work at all and we get a rather ugly turn car, but with $31 left and $55 in the pot what can we do here?

Grabbed by Holdem Manager

Personally I think both of your reraises are too small, Personally I see one of them having a set here, and slowplaying it because really there are no draws (beside 910) I think JA would either fold that flop or shove it and i think any other ace would be long gone.. Tbh im not really sure, this play seems really wierd by the 2 villains to me, and as a 2nl player I really dont know what it can mean at 25nl.. But my main point is I think your 2 reraises are a little small, I think preflop a reraise to around 5 dollars would help you more, Your raise is never going to be folded really so you dont gain any information on their hands, then on the flop with 2 people in, and you should think you are probably ahead (maybe?) I think you should be raising to about 20 dollars..

You can make it like $4.50 or $5 preflop.

As played (flop ch/r was way too small), ch/fold the turn.

Hero takes his keyboard and smashes it through the computer moniter, takes the tower and gives it a shower, and wow this is one of the sick bs situations to get into with a couple of donks just calling you on the flop with A high. Im sure UTG+2 has a raggity suited Ace for sure, and like the donkey he is calling the flop saying something stupid to himself like, "o well I already called the $5 I guess im committed right?" fkin DONK! I don't know I would just check and then fold cause im passive like that o well, you decide!!!

Gday, Not a good spot to be.I would of made a raise for my first action, after the flop, as to potential elminate, the always raiser. Or even making a bigger raise pre-flop would of done the trick.With the A on the turn, and both a flush and straight draw available, checking for your first action is now your only choice, then estimate the size of your raisers, before making your next play.

Yeah, what a terrible table to be at when people call J high flops with A rag. Don't you hate those f-in donks, how are you ever supposed to make money when people call you that light?

Oh wait...

I don't understand? You don't want to play a big pot oop so you're check raising? Surely doing that negates what you wanted. Anyway, I'd be making the preflop raise bigger. I mean the guys just raised nearly 5x BB from early position, seems like AK at least. As it is, obviously, you just have to check call because the amount of times one of these villains has an A outweighs the few times they don't.

Ugh. I was actually being ironic. Because what you said makes absolutely no sense in terms of logic and trying to win at poker. I don't want to sound mean but you should really re-evaluate why you play poker and what you want to accomplish with it...

Check fold turn.

Raise more pre, bet call that flop - makes things a lot easier for you.
