Hi guys, it was CC freeroll, what do you think about this hand? 15 players still in game, 12 cash. Do you play this hand with out of postion or no? If yes, what is your idea on this hand? It was bubble, after about 3 minutes was cash

i think it was normal hand, nothing u could do about it, u had to go all, just bad luck hes got KK )

I think u could have done 3bet preflop, maybe this villain make 4bet allin and maybe u fold for shove considering that we are on bubble, but its standard hand, after flop can not escape.

You played it fine. Obviously AQ is a playable hand preflop, so no problems there. Then you flop top pair when you are sort short stacked...YAY!

You can almost never fold on the flop here. I mean, why are you even playing AQ if you're going to fold it after flopping top pair and leaving yourself short stacked approaching the bubble?

It's just the way the cookie crumbles...nobody is deepstacked enough to be making those kinds of laydowns. most of the time you'll be chipping up nicely in that spot vs. KQ or 99. And if the flop comes A88 instead of Q88 it is the SB who is posting a bad beat thread instead of you....
