[moddi1]

i know guys this is retarded, i knew i was beat after he called the turn with a low-ish stack. On the river it was pretty much like **** it, im going all in. I even told im i was beat b4 i went all in. He had a low stack and pretty much limped in UTG.

Re: AA small blind mtt Your bet sizing on the flop is horrid I'd bet 3/4 or even the pot here.

Re: AA small blind mtt out of position i think you need to raise at least 4/5x bb here as that bets just asking to be called by the bb and limper. as woodie says the bet on the flop is terrible:\you should have either won an okay sized pot or at least got a bit more info,they could call your bet with so many different hands here its scary. by the turn your starting to do the right thing ,but a card to late.his call here would suggest he has a decent hand or at least a very good draw, so i would be wary from that point onwards. the rivers a pretty bad card for you and i think i would have checked,i think a lot of players would check behind with a worse hand than you and you take the pot ,however usually they would only bet if they are pretty strong with a scaryish board out there. hell i might have even checked behind with his set in that situation:unsure

I agree with this. Out of interest what were you hoping to achieve? I would have bet half the pot, suggesting I've got something, or I've missed with A,K. Either way it would be a tough call with 2,2.

Re: AA small blind mtt Just highlights the dangers of offering what was essentially a free card after the flop.

Re: AA small blind mtt Horrible horrible bet on the flop...but so in fairness is his call, especially with his stack. In fact, in my opinion he played the hand worse than you did but just got very very lucky.

Re: AA small blind mtt I think you both played the hand pretty bad if i'm honest. A much better pre-flop raise would have been to about 420 or 440 because you get more money in the pot, and will probably just lose one player and get heads up, or even take the pot down. Even if both players still call, the pot is bigger and you can put a bigger bet out there on the flop to take it down. Having said that, your flop bet was very poor, i definately agree with the others on this. You would have taken it down with a pot sized bet and won your opponents 360 in chips and so 720 - not a bad result for your stack.

HE WAS IN A PRETTY GOOD SHAPE!!! ;) (But only because of the poor flop bet) I really dont think it was a bad preflop move, the problem was the flop bet... and the raise on the turn are just bad news, 2 pairs, sets, etc. Regards

Re: AA small blind mtt A good rule preflop is to raise 3xBigBlind + 1Bigblind for each limper. So in this case a raise to 480ish would have been good. The flop bet is terrible, you should always bet 1/2-3/4 of the pot if you decide to bet. no matter if you hit it or not.

I even told im i was beat b4 i went all in. This says it all really if you know you are beat then fold! I think your PF raise is to small, Once somebody else enters the pot your raise should be 4x or more imo even more so because you will have to play the remainder of this hand OOP. Bet on the flop is a waste of time needs to be much more here you are basically pricing people in to draw out on you here. As played you should not be shoving the river here EVER!
