More proof of why you DON'T slowplay aces AT ANY POINT on PartyPoker.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

UTG+2 ($0)
MP1 ($30.38.)
MP2 ($3.05)
MP3 ($29.4)
CO ($28.25)
Hero ($24.3)
SB ($66.65)
BB ($8.24)
UTG ($20.65)
UTG+1 ($26.1)

Preflop: Hero is Button with [As], [Ah]. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
UTG calls $0.25, 5 folds, UTG calls $0.75.

This is a standard raise for me. Here it achieves my goal: Isolating an opponent.

Flop: ($2.35) [Ks], [Th], [4d] (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $1, UTG calls $1.

Hoping to induce a bluff later in the hand.

Turn: ($4.35) [5s] (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks.

This was a HUGE mistake. I got greedy and was fairly certain he'd bet on the river if I checked behind him.

River: ($4.35) [9d] (3 players)
UTG bets $4, Hero calls $8.65.

I was right, he bet. I raised. He reraised. That worried me, but I wasn't gonna punk out.

Final Pot: $27

If you can't figure out what he had, go ahead and ask.

raise to 5xbb PF with one limper, pot the flop, pot the turn, river depends on his actions

I take it he had Q-J...

All i can say is that I think if you're gonna play in the No Limit rooms, you gotta take advantage of that to protect your A's and K's. You will win a small pot... but otherwise you'll lose the big ones.

Go all in preflop. If they're gonna call ya, so be it. A $1 bet in a no limit room just doesn't do the trick.

That's usually the course of action I take. Came down with a case of FPS.

Do you guys read posts above yours? I already said he didn't have the straight. Pay attention.

I know how to play NL, it's my specialty. As I said, I was a dumbass on that move. Look at allinbluff's post, that's what I usually do (give or take).

In regards to going all in preflop: Not a f.ucking chance. The pot is unraised and I dont' want the board to decide my fate. That's a stupid idea. Nobody should let you play NL again.
