Double or Nothing: Aces post flop on paired board

[GaF]

Later stage DoN is pretty simple, with ICM :unsure So thought I'd put some early hands up where I have a good pre flop hand, or have got sucked in and am facing tough choices post flop - interested in feedback and what you'd do :ok He had the goods (:Kh: :9h:) and in general I think I got away cheap - but what if he'd put in proper bets? Wa I right to try and control pot size (i.e. play passively) or should I at some stage have been asking him a question?

Re: Double or Nothing: Aces post flop on paired board I think you were right to play passively and control the pot size, because, after he had open bet on the flop I would have been reraising - reasoning that if he had a 9 he wouldn't have open bet - and then when he then came back over the top of me I wouldn't have believed him :$ But that IS how I see that hand would have played out for me

Re: Double or Nothing: Aces post flop on paired board It probably means that I'm WAY too cautious early in a cooler, but I'd have folded after a bet and call on the flop. Unless you get another ace, your hand is very unlikely to improve, so your opponents have the "leverage". My second choice would be to raise and shut down if I get called/raised.

It probably means that I'm WAY too cautious early in a cooler' date=

I'll be very pleased if I ever get to play coolers as badly as you :tongue2

Re: Double or Nothing: Aces post flop on paired board I agree with slapdash, time to let it go in the flop. You could have reraised on the flop to be sure, however it's expesive information and the 500 or so chips requied to do so can be better spent elsewhere. I'll ask the question from the other thread, when you see Aces what is your objective, win blinds or go for big hand ? do you have a plan ?

Re: Double or Nothing: Aces post flop on paired board Well I'm not open folding Aces pre flop here if that's what you mean :lol :lol :lol :lol :tongue2 Obviously I'd love to get reraised and to shove them in pre flop :ok If I have limpers and see the flop and it isn't especially scary (a paired board scares me) then I'm probably prepared to stick all my chips in :unsure Too often they'll stick around with TPTK, an overpair, an underpair :tongue2 - if there's no flushes or str8s, and the board is unpaired, not multiple broadway cards, I'm building a big pot and prepared to go all the way.... if they have trips or 2 pair (I'm not that far behind 2 pair), then so be it - more often than not they wont have though.....

Re: Double or Nothing: Aces post flop on paired board Really don't think i'm ever going to get into these coolers! I'll stick to MTTs
