$Freeroll NLHE MTT: AA close to bubble CC freeroll. Should this have been a shove rather than 3bb raise?

Of course he doesn't want many people to call but the same goes if he has 15bb or 100bb.

With AA and a 15BB stack, we dont even mind to get multible callers. Sure it increases the risk, someone outflops us, but there will also be more times, when someone catches up and have to go with their hand, because stacks are so shallow. Like flop comes JT5 two spades, and they have AJ, KQ, KJ, QJ, Q9, J9, 98, spades etc.

Hmm very true indeed! I haven't thought of it that way! Very true.

You didn't do anything wrong really. You obviously played super tight which put you in a bad spot being short stacked.

At this point your stack is a push /fold stack. You should of Jammed 1st chance you got.

This is a perfect example of aces not being. unbeatable. Many people call RIGGED when their aces lose. Its not. Your hand just hit that 20% of the time they lose.

Next time Jam. Raising does nothing at this point with 15 bb. You would be all in anyways . Of you were hoping to slow play and get multiple callers with AA that's how they most of the time get busted.

There is always a next time. Loosen up some. Having 15 BB and waiting on only the top hands is a good way to find yourself in a position like this.


Time to get more aggressive.

Lots of assumptions here.... maybe 100% wrong..... maybe not??? We don't know why hero has 15bb... maybe previous hand played he lost an 80/20 for 40 bigs??? Maybe it's a turbo structure with near half the field on less than 10bbs
