So are you claiming risk was just calling at first preflop? Or the fact you called all-in with AA against two all-in before you?

Neither seems risky to me. Considering you're 3 handed, and you want your AA to get action, smooth calling is a move a lot of people make in this situation. If you have certain reads on the other two players, and know they'll be aggressive, then there's even more incentive to just limp.

And if you were reffering to calling two all-ins before you, um let me see if I read this correctly, YOU HAVE AA, it's not like you're going to fold. You have to call. Every single poker player in the world, fish or pro, will make this call. It's not as if you really went out on the limb here and was calling with a marginal hand. You had AA.

I think you played this hand the only possibly way you could have played it considering you limped, even though you seem to think it was a risk. You can't fold there.

^^^^^^^^ Well she was a bit heavy handed but she is right.

Nice win!

I think he was being sarcastic since he's been having a bit of bad luck with bad beats lately. So the risk was playing AA period, no matter what the action.

But see, the best hand does win sometimes.

Yes, that was a nice hand and nice pot too. I love to win with pocket aces.

Nice catch, Lucky....
Although you 'didn't' , technically, put yourself 'at risk'.....what with an allin call of '
less' than 'all' of your stack. 'Neither' were you 'matmatically' at risk....with the 'best' hand possible in Holdem.....especially since the match was not a mtt. (a stsng allows you the option of just buying into the next game for a somewhat minimal fee.
You sure 'did' crush them donks though......eh? ]:<)~> ooh hahh!! *Sorry....I must've got bored,
