Only time to "get away" would be preflop.

I agree. you were behind in the hand all the way, but how could you know? He had you beat pre-flop, and made the rest of his hand on the flop. That said, it would be a very, very hard laydown.



Posted Sun Apr 22, 2007 9:43 pm GMT by Casey ATB
Yeah, Leafs, dumping pre-flop would be best. I know that I usually get in trouble playing Ace-rag.


Posted Mon Apr 23, 2007 1:39 am GMT by MrDarling
Yeah, I almost never play Axs. I might raise it in position - but I raise anything in position. With limpers in front I will limp it hoping to hit big. I'm not losing much with TPNK.

You had no chance after you came into the pot.

BTW anyone who doesn't play Axs cheap in multi way flop 6 handed /boggle

The way you played this hand you are either losing a huge pot to a hand like 99 or you are winning a tiny pot because you didn't raise at any point during the hand.

I'd also play this differently preflop. You have a limper in front of you who could be limping in with a vast majority of their hands - and you have an Ace, which is better than the vast majority of hands he might be limping with. I raise in an attempt to isolate with this weak-passive donkey because either he calls PF and folds to a CBet, he folds preflop, or he check-calls when your c-bet and you know that you can safely fold. I would probably play it differently if there weren't 6 people sitting at your table, but since you are 6-max, you know anyone who open-limps is probably terrible.

Obviously 99 is never folding and obviously you are never folding... unless you fold PF, but that's pretty weak considering your position and the terrible limper.

I love not being in these hands where you see people thinking they are trapping someone who actually has them beat.

Everyone goes broke here - anyone who says they can fold that on the flop/turn/river is a liar.



Posted Mon Apr 23, 2007 3:28 pm GMT by vyni
Bright side, you had him covered. Got to keep 25% of your stack in play on this one. The hand was certainly worth the limp from the button (A2 is suck, but worth a cheap peek), and no matter what anyone says.... we should all go broke here. No need dwelling on how either played it: this was just fate.

Fate?? Meh, just bad luck

I had two of them in less than an hour. Sad

Played the $50 tourney with Dave at Harrah's on Friday. Blinds were 75/150. EP limps, shorty pushes for 500 more, I call with KQo, EP calls.

Flop is KKT, EP leads for ~1K. I push, he calls, flips AK. No help. Crippled me, and I was out shortly thereafter.

Moved over to the 1/2 NL game. Got KTo late, raised a couple of limpers to $7, button called as did the limpers. Flop TT4, checked to me, I lead for $25. Button calls, limpers fold. Turn Q, I lead for $75, button pushes, I call my last $40 or so. He shows AT.

That's why we don't play easily dominated hands, DUH.

Well, most people are going to bet this out, but you played a little sticky - if you check-raised and he re-raised, for example (though I doubt he would have) you could imagine a world where you might think about the higher full houses. The real disadvantage of trapping isn't that you might get 'outdrawn' or be behind from the getgo - it is the chance you take of blinding yourself by not creating action you can read.

Like I said though, you're going to pay this off once in a while when it happens.
