I like the call. I think when you have bullets you want to give others an opportunity to call or shove. The hands that are calling after you, you will likely dominate. As it worked out it saved you quite a few chips.

Neither call nor go all in. With a good raise you will avoid weak games and some bad beats in the end, and maybe get value on the pot. Shove could put everybody out of the hand, and you will remain just with the blinds with a strong hand like that.

And call/all in just catch fishes. A experienced opponent can see your slow playing really easily. It's better simulate a draw or a hand that's is just OK. You don't need the villain thinks you have a weak hand. What you need is the villain think he has a better hand than yours.

I agree I think a strong raise will narrow the field and isolate your opponent.:)

I think your position in the hand. Like UTG I would at least 4 bet the pot and get as many weak players out as possible, but say you are the BB before the flop and you have just two callers, or raisers, then I would flat call or 3 bet, and you probably won't lose those two. Max value is what I've always heard that you should shoot for. But then again it could go all wrong. That's poker, and no one can tell you how to over come that. I have been beat with AA every way you can think of. GL to you

in this particular situation call is a good decision. that's the way how you can win a bigger pot. Yeah you won't win every time you do it, but it's a profitable move anyway.

it always depends, if you play a head-up, call always, also is quite good to call when there is a aggresive donk player, if you know he's going to raise then you call, if someone else call or raise, go all-in.
if your stack is regular and you´re next to bubble is better all-in or raise.

Сall- a good decision , because the other players misjudged your hand , and you will have the opportunity to win a big pot. But do not forget that the chance of winning decreases with increasing number of players in the pot.

All tends to be a coin-flip, always.

hi!
with the stacks of your opponents it was a good call.you put them all in without scare them
if one of them had a big stack you could make a raise there

When playing on a passive table you need to raise at least raise 4x bb in or order to isolate small and middle pair from making a set on the flop.

replayer didnt work for me, but i would think a small raise may be the best option-

if stacks are really shallow i like a call better and

if stacks are really deep i like a raise better

at least a 3 bet is best be very careful of slow playing aces you can get cracked.

I think I would have shoved preflop to try to isolate that guy. The QJ guy probably calls anyway. If he's willing to risk 65% of his chips on that, he probably would have done the same.

I hear this alot, raise or shove with aces preflop and you somehow avoid bad beats, but I'm not exactly clear on how this works. Can you elaborate?
