This is a hand from playing at a casino a few days ago.
Had only been playing about an hour, no reads on any players really. Villian had only been playing twenty minutes.


Hero UTG AsAc $300 raise to $15
Two callers.
Flop Kh9d8d
Hero bets $30, one caller.
Turn 2h
Hero bets $75
River 4h
Hero checks, other dude shoves remaining $50, hero calls.




What would you have done differently??

You got all the money in the pot with a good hand against a short stack. Looks fine. Only thing you could have done was bet flop a little bigger and shove turn but that is nit picking, esp in live poker...

Oh yeh, and don't bother checking the river, the money is going in the middle.

Bet almost pot sized on the flop and shove the turn.

Without any good reads I don't really think you could lay down AA in this situation...

Folding AA on this river for $50 would be incredible spew. Put him all-in on the turn. Title the thread "How to maximize winnings with AA."
