Blinds 200/400, ante 25.Hero has 21,000 in chipsVillian has 14,500 in chipsHero is button with A A :spade:Folded to MP2 who limps, folded to CO who limps, Hero raises to 1200. Folded to MP2 who calls, CO times out and folds.Flop: K 8 4 :spade:MP2 bets 2800. Hero calls.One of us is pushing all in on the turn. I'm convinced he doesn't have the flush.Turn: 2 :heart:MP2 goes all in for 10, 500, Hero calls.MP2 turns over 4 5 :club:River: 5 :diamond:This essentially knocked me out of the tournament because blinds went up after that (as did the ante). I was knocked out when my AQ ran into QQ.

Brutal. Tough way to go out.Did you think about pushing after the flop?

[custom36 5]

Yeah, I considered it. But I felt that if I pushed back, he would've folded. I felt that I was way ahead here and I could extract more chips from him. I figured he'd have to hit a miracle card - unfortuantely I was right. :?

You have to re-raise on the flop do you not? You have the case ace...No way he is calling your re-raise with only a pair of fours to that flop...

A "case" card is the fourth card of a rank. The case ace is irrelevant.

The "case" ace is the ace of spades for this example. Am I crazy to think that I am using the correct terminology here...I am not disagreeing that if there were three 7's on the board and you had the last 7 you would have the case 7...if I'm wrong about the terminology, so be it, but my point about re-raising still stands :wink:
