SB: 2,477 (15.5 bb)
Hero (BB): 2,773 (17.3 bb)
UTG+2: 1,747 (10.9 bb)
MP1: 2,123 (13.3 bb)
MP2: 220 (1.4 bb)

3 folds, MP3 raises to 320, 3 folds, Hero raises to 565, MP3 calls 245

Flop: (1,370) Ks 4h 6c (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 checks

Turn: (1,370) 2d (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets 160, Hero calls 160

River: (1,690) Js (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets 845, Hero raises to 2,028 and is all-in, MP3 calls 1,183

Villain statistics are irrelevant.his bet turn is pretty normal to steal the pot,but when J comes i think he could have it,but his bet was so big compared with others streets.so facing this information what you think should i do.call,fold or 3bet shove like i did.
seeing later,maybe just a call is better hear without any information on this strange V line.
pré i don't wannaams to kick out the V from hand.

Preflop min-raise with AA and then check on a very safe flop??? This is a very bad game with AA. It's completely irrelevant how hend is finished. Just opinion.

With pocket aces and stack in 17bb need to play only preflop all-in, no limps, raises 2-2,5 BB, only all-in !!!

 

[AlexBlefer]

min raise 15 BBs mistake 1 then check...
gl in future
rule 1 : never limp

I thought he were all in,huge mistake by me

 

[jfmcd86]

maybe a continuation bet would be good on the flop, never checking aces when the flop looks like that. other than that, this looks like a soft play with aces.

Check is a ver bad line,if he has pocket pair he callsmy cbet and the K he shoves,so,Cbet is the better line...

 

[IntenseHeat]

Looks like a case of Fancy Play Syndrome to me. I'd probably go with a little bit bigger 3-bet before the flop. I definitely wouldn't be giving my opponent any free cards to get lucky with post-flop.

man this happened to me many times i was setting the trap with AA but the flop trapped me with straights and flushes , depends on luck also

 

[Veritas]

3bet bigger to 900-1.000
check raise all-in flop or even jam
jam turn
there is no Need to slowroll with such a small stack just to get a suckout vs a avoidable run out.
if he has KK or JJ, it's a cooler.
but if he busts you with KJ, 44, 22 and Maybe even 66, it would have been avoidable with a bigger 3bet preflop !

that's one of the biggest leaks with AA. you slow roll to build a big pot where you can't find a fold and lose. a strong Hand Needs a strong raise, not some Fancy limp/call bullshit.
if you only collect the blinds it's still better than losing all your Chips
sure, sometimes it's fine to set up the trap, but that should be less than 10% of the time.

I always tell myself go all in with aces but u want to build the pot . I will go all in now . U are right u can't fold them and u loose ure stack

Normally a 3-bet out of position should be 4X the open size, but in this situation that would put more than 1/3 of your stack in the middle, so really your only actions here should be call or all in. Typically I would jam here with aces, but if you want to mix in a slowplay, then just call, so that at least your hand is not completely face up after the flop. That mini 3-bet out of position with shallow stacks is just screaming, that you want to get called, so he probably knew, exactly where he had you, and this allowed him to play perfect after the flop.

 

[frank174]

win a little with aces or lose a lot

 

[foran]

I prefer to bet under what check on the flop

 

[Luvepoker]

I dont mind the preflop raise at all but I would never check this flop.If he has nothing we are not likely to get anymore money in the pot anyways unless he is an aggressive player. If he has a hand and want to play we get out money in good here. While you should not be results oriented if you bet the flop you would have won the hand most likely.
