villian goes all in
hero calls!

VILLIAN SHOWS 44!

THIS IS A HAND THAT HAS GOTTEN ME ON TILT VERY BADLY.
THE THING WITH THEESE PLAYERS IS THST WAS ON TABLE ALL WERE LOOSE PASSIVE AND I SAW A LOT OF THEM RAISE AND COMMIT WHOLE STACK ON TOP PAIR AND MEDIOCRE KICKERS!
I THOUGHT THAT THE PLAYERS HAS LOT OF TOP PAIR COMBOS HERE SO I PLAYED VERY AGRO WHICH I FEEL SO BAD ABOUT AND I AM ON FULL TILT!
NEED HELP.

What combinations of TX would call you from UTG+1 preflop? TT, of course, but not much more. Maybe ATs. JJ+ would probably reraise you. In this scenario I would mostly expect some pocket pairs or AQ, AK. When they go all in like that you can be confident that they're holding a set or an over pair, but we know they probably would've reraised preflop if they had an over pair. Unfortunately for you it was the set.

Of course it's hard to consider all these variables during the few seconds you have to make the decision, but if you practice enough they end up becoming somewhat instinctive. You'll always make some bad calls, but they become much less recurrent.

Why did you slow play your AA preflop? :eek:
You should to protect your monster hand preflop, dont matter if someone call your raise or not, because the flop come with a lot of surprise like these.
Good luck with your pair of A the next time ;)

Thank you for posting.

In wild games there are still some bet sizing tells. Min raising by OPP is one of those tells.
As you observe the table watch for which hands players are min raising with, which hands they are big raising with. It is also player dependent so be aware of that.
Also board dependent. K46 may have caused your OPP to bet bigger for example hoping you hit the K.

Your reraise size is too large. Many bad players will fold most of there weak holdings and continue with their strong holdings to that bet amount from what must be the tightest guy on the table. You have no bluffs on that board.

Hope this helps

:):)

Once he raises just go into check-call mode. You keep bluffs and worse value hands in his range and sometimes save some chips.

Hero plays perfect till flop!

Yes Hero has Pocket Aces.....Yes Hero is a huge favorite Pre-Flop!

When Villain 4 bets Hero, hero should take a mental note of transgressions against the almighty Pocket Aces and then 5 bet Villain....

Villain, 6 bets all in.....Major red flag for Pocket Aces, Kings, I have and will again fold my AA hand in situations like this and preserve my Tournament life.

Have a great day, hope this was helpful,
GiGicat:)

Unlucky about flop but that kind of things happens. Preflop is okay but after his 3 bet on flop you could at least cold call instead of 4 bet. You would give him credit for 44,66 combinations.
