A couple of AA cash hands from Jackpot.

max_power

Hand 1. I'm playing about 1k, cover the table.

Pick up AA in the sb, after a ep raise, i make it 35. Two callers, one unknown, seems quite loose and aggro but not a good player and AKQJ10 calls from the button.

Flop: 9s 6s 5x after having clearly represented aces, i'm wary of the flop, especially with AKQj10 in the hand. I check mp bets 60 button calls, i just call??

Turn: 2s completing the flush draw. It goes check check check.

River: 3x i check, mp bets 135 AKQJ10 calls, action on me. Call/fold/shove?

Hand 2.
About an hour later, im on circa 900, villian in hand is playing about 500, one of the dealers in the jackpot, can't remember his name now.

AA on the button this time ep raise again and i pot, getting three callers again, i think. Pot is 100 approx.

Flop: J22.
ep checks, dealer bets 65, i call, ep folds.

Turn: 7x goes check check.

River: 4, i think. A relative brick. No flush out.

Checked to me....Whats your action here? Why? pot now is 230.

Hand 1: I think i'd bet out around 80 or so on the flop, as played its a tough decision. If villain 1 is loose and aggro enough to have air here and AKQJ10 has picked up on this it makes it closer to a call, as AKQJ10 could be calling this pretty light, but its a tough one. I think i'd call. I'd never raise it.

Hand 2: I'd bet 150-200 on the river and hope for a call from aj or something similair. Your hand is underepped and i'd presume your image is pretty aggressive. Its no 5-2s but I think the AA are worth a value bet here.

Hand 1 I call. I don't think either have the flush and I think your up against TP and a PP so I think your ok or is this hand why you are on 900 in the second hand! Would MP call with 78 pre-flop? I think he could be ahead of you but you are always ahead of the other player.

Hand 2 I bet. The dealer looks like he's got a jack or 99/TT or something in my opinion so stick in a value bet of 150 or so.

1) i would fold here personally. Id imagine Mark at least has 2 pair beat, perhaps low flush, other fella not sure what hes betting on end, but id defo say between the two they have you beat imho

2) Id chance a value bet here as dealer may well call with Jack. You'd have to think he'd have bet a 2?

1. Dont like the check/call on flop... With that line you are playing oop against 2 players on a very draw heavy board. Leading out is better i think. As Played id almost always fold on the river, id only call if the bettor was a serial bluffer, and the caller has been known to call light.

2. The way you play the hand sets it up perfectly for a 150-175 bet on river. I would expect the bettor to have a J or a mid pair, and you've played the hand so far like AK-AQ that i would expect a caller.

hand 1,i take it by the question you asked (call fold raise)that you dont have the As,so i'm folding here.you say it was a scary flop so why did you not pot it and continue your post flop raise.only thing i'm wary of here is AKs AQs and going by the bet/call your AA are beat?.

hand 2,i think a value bet of about 150 will win the day here.:cool:

AKQJ10

hand 1 - is a fold, with a player to act behind im never calling without 1 pair beat

valor

AKQ...you should never have better than one pair yourself given the action..

I would bet fold the river myself

hand 2 bet turn bet river, get value

!!!LOL!!!!

hand 1. lead this flop, granted it's a scary board but it's still very likely you have the best hand. it's draw heavy so get some value from people on draws. both villians in hand are about 99% likely to have called you with drawing hands preflop.... actually that percentage might be a little off..... AKQJ10 is 100% likely to have a drawing hand and the other villian 85% drawing hand, 15% "two live cards." you've underrepresented your hand to such an extent here that i think you should call, but i do have the result of the hand already so maybe it's not fair for me to comment on this.

hand 2.
bet the river for value 180/200.

Moneymaker

1. I'd be folding here, you're not beating a lot.

2. I'd bet around 150.

eggie

Hand 1: hate the check on the flop, as played fold

Hand 2: bet turn and river, as played dont think you are getting called no matter what you bet.

with your record of butchering AA id probably agree

Results: I folded hand 1, figuring i was beat by two pair or a 4 for a straight. Wasn't particularly worried about either player having a flush. AKQJ10 took it sown with a pair of nines.

Hand 2: I 'value' betted 125, got raised to 300, then made a bad call, for him to show me 2 5.

So i called when i was behind and folded when ahead. I'm great.

I think you were quite unlucky in hand 2, dealer played his hand quite cunningly, not something you come to expect in the jackpot so thats unfortunate.

Hand one is bizarre, mark maintains he knew you would fold if he called i think?

calling a re-raise oop pf with 25 is very cunning all right.

250bbs deep live against a bad player I don't think its terribe at all, not calling you bad specifically max, but if I was in the jackpot I would assume you were!

He also got him to put 150 big blinds in on the river, thats not too shabby

i think is very important to note, used it quite a bit tonight in Ceasers when i was playing between 160 and 400BB deep at 1-3. hidden hands are vital imo.

I think 25o oop is stretching it a bit tbh.
