Sure, they can have a set - but I don't buy it.
It didn't feel like a set to me.

You said that 84o is the new powerhouse. So I go with 84o.

lol
84o is a raising hand, not a calling one.
But it would have worked here wonders - you can't always hold the "nuts" 
Which hand is strong enough to call a raise and a reraise

84o??

I'm going with A10off
but it played like JJ-KK

nice range of hands..
I also had villain on a pocket pair.
does anyone have a problem with my actions?
Posted Thu Dec 14, 2006 4:59 pm GMT by Jauron
I'm gonna say 88 since we're just guessing here.
I also think it's next to impossible to fold it most of the time.

I might have just pushed all-in on that flop since he opened with a bet.
I think a pocket pair like TT or JJ.
Posted Fri Dec 15, 2006 2:01 pm GMT by MrDarling
well, he had T7o. And I doubt someone who calls a 12XBB preflop will fold TP.
The reason I just flat called the flop , well I didn't feel any treat from that flop and didn't want to slow him down.
Posted Fri Dec 15, 2006 2:21 pm GMT by Dave B
So he out played you pretty bad.

I have a problem with letting the hand go to the flop 3 handed. The reason that you limp with AA in first position, IMO, is to entice a lunchbox to raise, so you can reraise a TON. As soon as there was a raise and then a CALL, your next move Has to be PUSH!!!! Then you can let 10/7 offsuit guy make a bad decision, not you mke the bad decision.....

looks like any 10 or pp 8s to Js.... Qs and Ks i feel at this limit would have pushed by now

I totally not agree. I raised to 12XBB (3X the first raise) I want hand like PP or AX call me.
Posted Sun Dec 17, 2006 11:41 pm GMT by nicthestick
You raised the pot. 1.20 is basically the pot. If I am 10/7 dude, I'm coming to crack your AA
Posted Wed Dec 20, 2006 5:02 pm GMT by JMX360
AT or QQ would be my guess.

Let me get this right; you are playing a $0.10-$0.05 cash table, you raise pre-flop against a guy you have no read on, you then swap punches for a few rounds and want to try and guess his hand?
I'm guessing you should take your pick from about 40 different hands.
Surely, with no read what-so-ever, guessing his hand is pointless. Just play your cards, your way.

Yeah, let's wait until we have the only hand which guarantees us a massive edge preflop, and do everything we possibly can to keep this edge from coming into play.

He only raised another .70 cents. Its gotta be bigger than that. Not a massive overbet, but something like 2.00-2.50 total.

Raising to anything over $1 in $0.1 games will only get caller in a loose game.
I totally disagree about over raising. Sure I had A's and usually, I'll be against AK , PP (J's and up). sure often you see people go preflop raising wars with KQo and you also see people pushing preflop with smaller pp.
So by raising like mad I'm shutting the hand off.
To be totally honest, I'm still not sure I should have folded this hand, Slow down, for sure.
AT would have played the hand exactly the same in this levels.
T's will more often slow play top set.

Maybe move up levels if you can't take getting called with medicore hands.

Because people at higher levels only play top 10 hands.
Posted Sun Dec 31, 2006 12:05 am GMT by 22
Maybe not the top ten hands, but 10$ is different than 10 cents.

10BB either way. Thinking in terms of dollars and cents is very baaaad.
