As you can see I limped in with AA first pos. after BB hoping for someone else to raise it up. My trap didn't work and it ends up with 1 player calling and BB checking. Main reason i posted this is because i want to know how you would have played my hand after the flop. Feel free to reply

I'll bite my tongue about limping AA ......


On the flop, overbet pot 650, you don't want the draws you allowed in to see any more cheap cards.

Agreed. Not to keen about the 250 bet on the flop. I mean it is a relatively dry board but obviously 10 Q or 8 10 would be checking their option on the BB so bet 500-600 and take it down.

Now on the river, you have about half your stack in now, I am probably c/c the river here, but I really don't see villain missing anything here and attempting a bluff, so you probably will get a check behind and take the pot.

Yeah... i would bet like 620... then more more... to push the opponent...

limping AA didn't like..i would raise at least 3x bb.

my opinion

good luck!

At the time i couldnt really understand what the guy had, really confused by him calling fast all my bets. Since i had half my stack already in the pot, I decided to with push all my remaining chips. He instacalls me showing 4,4 trips, it was either KJ or 44 that made sence. Stupid me who didn't check at the river knowing that i could be beat.


I agree with you above, raise AA whatever position you are at the table. It could cost you the tournament if you don't! :/

You learned a valuable lesson. I rarely ever limp with a large ppr. The rare times that I do is when I am on an aggressive table I am fairly confident that someone else will raise so I can do a very large reraise.
