Nice pot for the other guy

[Alon Ipser]

50 some of us left out of 1770 players. Everyone at the table plays pretty solid. Littlefoot had just lost a pretty good pot and I thought may have been tilting. Thought I would push out Liltoastie with my all in. Would of been nice to win this one, I would have been sitting in 6th.

That's a heartbreaker, but I think a larger than minimum raise would have helped to push at least one of them out of the hand (hopefully K/10 boy). But, who knows (after all it was soooted )?

You just never know how the cards are going to fall, unfortunately. I do think your read on littlefoot was good. Going all in with Q/Jh after that flop is a bit tiltish in my eyes.

Sorry AI but i HATE the minraise.
It has no real purpose; i mean you're not going to get anyone out of the hand, and it's not even enough to sweeten up the pot significantly
raise more PF! is my advice
also it's just about the most dangerous flop you could get, so the flop play is kind of iffy - this is not the best play.
Basically you made it cheap for opponents to see the flop, and then payed them off once they hit

 

[KerouacsDog]

15000 is going into that pot PF if I'm holding Aces, and probably the same again on the flop, if theres anyone left. And if there is, then I'm beat!

WHY ARE YOU MINRAISING WITH ACES

Seriously.

 

[t1riel]

Aside from the obvious fact you should have raised more preflop, I would have folded after the flop. There are three diamonds so it's a real possibility one of the players had a diamond or two. If one of your Aces was a diamond, I probably would have stayed in the hand. Maybe doing that would be too tight and conservative but after flop you must have smelled a possible suckout.
Now that we know what each player had, I think a big raise preflop would have helped. After the flop, there was no way either of them would fold no matter how much you bet or raise. Still, tough draw for you.

one of the players had a heart? or do you mean diamond?

Thanks JuiceeQ!

 

[Alon Ipser]

Yes, bad play on my part. I was hoping the minimum raise would make them think I was trying to steal the pot.

The blinds are 3000 guys, you always want action with Aces, and miniraising is the best way to do it when the blinds are extravagantly high. I can't blame your raise, just a bad flop for you.
