Full Version: Did I Play This Right?

I don't have the entire hand history, just a summary.....

NL HE, low limit, 0.05/0.10

I'm dealt AA, I bet 7xbb, I get 3 callers

Flop comes 5d 5h 9d

Flop worries me, but I bet 6xbb, all call

turn comes Ks

still concerned so I drop the bet to 5xbb, first two players call, last pushes all in (about $1.50), we all call

ok, now I'm really concerned that he (or someone, has hit their trips)

River comes Td

I'm in deep now, so I bet 5xbb again, both call

I think I played this correct.

What say you?

I say that this looks like a cash game hand and there's another forum for that so try posting there. Include some helpful details like the position of you and your opponents, preflop action before you bet 7*BB, and your starting stack sizes if you want any sort of sensible reply there.

Agree with Maschit, but here's my take either way:

Preflop there are at least 28BB in the pot.

Betting 6BB with AA into a 28BB pot with a flush draw possibility and a pair is to put it nicely "a bad play".

On the turn, betting 5BB into a pot with 52BB is a worse play.

we really need stack sizes.

If it's 100xBB for eveyone or less, and the game plays this loose - I'm pushing the flop.

My thoughts exactly. Especially with these kinds of blinds. Imo, at these kinds of levels, the actual amount is more relevant than the number of BBs it is in relation to, because it is really, really cheap to keep drawing.

Oh, and you missed the straight draw possibilities. $.60 to try to draw to a gutshot wouldn't seem too bad to many people.

The turn, however, wouldn't actually concern me as much as some other cards (namely all of the diamonds, and any card 6 - 9). Those make far scarier turn cards. If someone pushes with the king, it might actually be more of a relief for me.
