Your M is 9ish, but this is the one time we don't want fold equity. There's 3000 in the pot, and I'd raise to 4000. That'd make the flop pot size 9000 chips and would leave you 19500ish behind. Enough to bet the flop for 4900 and put the rest in on the turn.

Depends on my read on villain. If he is likely agro then I might just check and hope he catches something and bets, or bluffs on flop. A lot depends on my read of the guy; obviously you are looking to maximize yr pr but how best?

Just saying, if villain is super tight for instance, a BB raise might fold him which would be sad... I am tending to slowplay AA more at tight tables as I see too many folds to PF raises there... I'm surprised he called that raise with rags... u had him all the way; Bad Bad River!

...might want to wait a day or so before giving results next time. I would raise more preflop, the most I think sb would call often, probably to 3bbs or so. We're short enough that we should be able to get the money in pretty easily if sb catches a piece, might even be tempted to bluff at a decent sized pot after we've built it some.

 

[c9h13no3]

Wow. Generally you want to wait until there's some feedback on the hand. 1 reply usually isn't enough to get an idea for the consensus play in a hand.

 

[cjatud2012]

I feel like you're questioning yourself because Villain hit his five outer after the flop.

It could be argued that your pre-flop raise should be bigger, especially if your opponent is loose. However, you wanted to encourage action, so I understand the min-raise. Then you were fortunate in that your opponent hit top pair, and, as a typical freeroll player would, he overvalues it and check raises. This is exactly what you wanted, as your money gets in as a 4-to-1 favorite. So there wasn't really anything terribly wrong here IMO, you just got unlucky.

 

[rodelzki]

Sorry for my mistake of releasing the outcome of this hand too soon. Yes you are right 1 feedback is not enough to digest how this hand should be played.

I did not wait long enough to give the others to analyze the situation and chance to share their strategies so that we all would benefit well of this experience.

Thank you and appreciate all your thoughts.

That is standard donk call.Don't be mad I have lost my last 5 AA in one on ones.All of hands were in cash games.
Because of players like your opponent I am raising all in with aces in freerolls.
He has lowest pair on turn and he plays that was awful

Thanks for the comforting words. Actually, I don't make donk calls whenever someone has already made a re-raise or even do an ALL-IN re-raise.

again thanks ....
