AA early in $1 MTT

[jayneseo]

Do you think I should've pushed on the flop or am I being result oriented?
Seems to me donk is calling either way.

Looks ok to me. Cold decked unfortunately, lol @ Q4s calling a 6xBB raise P/F cause its sootteeddd.

 

[jayneseo]

I was just thinking I didn't leave myself enough on the turn so it may have been better to just push the flop. What can I really expect though in a $1 donkament. Oh well, probably saved me 3 hours of my life

 

[jayneseo]

Guess I shouldve taken it as a hint, since this hand been bad beat by 3 outers to get knocked out of 3 SnGs lol, time for bed.

- Is any turn card going to make you fold?

- Is villain really much less likely to call the 450 bet than a shove (assume we don't know his hand)?

 

[alexanderwoo1]

That's just bad luck and also maybe raise bigger preflop. Raising preflop around 8-10 times the big blind will make people who actually have call you.

 

[ketz]

It is a $1 tourney which is a sign of donks. You had the best hand but just got donked on. Unlucky mate.

 

[e_jenks]

these things happen unfortuantly. alot of donks play in the $1 and $2 buy ins and people get aot af bad beats

 

[Bombjack]

Don't raise more pre-flop or on the flop, because then everyone will fold, which is obviously not what you want. If people call your raise with rags, that's good.

 

[doorbread]

Nothing you can do there. $1 tourney plays. He gave you his chips, he just forgot to wrap them up.

What he said. You want some action. You just got unlucky. Played fine I think.

 

[homerphobe]

I see nothing wrong with the hand. Well played. The villain was still getting bad odds to call with a draw on the turn with the size of the all in bet. Villain was 4.5 to 1 dog getting only 3 to 1 pot odds.

 

[actionjmac]

as poker players we care about making good and bad decisions. assuming you knew he was on a flush draw you want the call on the turn I think. At best he has nine outs which is about 15 percent to hit a club. You are going to win more times then not. Good decision in my opinion. by the way what is LAG?

S00TED

 

[Freakakanus]

in a $1 SNG you POOOSH with AA everytime Preflop......... you are bound to get 1 or 2 or 7 calls.....


sorry didnt read post, just title of thread, I hope I'm right.....

 

[Kenzie 96]

Can't see where you messed this up, you got everything you wanted except final result which you can't control anyway.

 

[dj11]

I hate getting great cards early in any tourney. AA just scares the heeby jeebies right out of me first hand. I still haven't layed it down, but it has not been any better than a coinflip in the first orbit.

But, what can you do. Shove up front, maybe it folds.......
