interesting hand

always tough to lose with AA

the initial limp was ok in my book ( occasionally its ok to limp with AA...sure..)...yer lookin for a raise to 3 bet...and ya got one..sweet....ya got 4 bet...very good...now villain is pot committed in their minds......so you 5 bet...and ended up all in pre flop....

villain was looking to go all in pre with AQ , i think....nothing you could have done to stop them i am sure...

maybe you could have flat called the 4 bet ...and then shoved on the flop....villain might just have folded his gut draw and overcard (A)...but i doubt it.....

i would have played the hand more or less the same as you i think...and lost too....

gotta bear in mind it was a freeroll too....this can affect the way some people play....it makes some folks a lot looser than if they had actually bought in...

i hope ya made notes on villain that you can maybe exploit if ya meet again...

better luck next time

Why do you limp with AA???

**12monkeys** · 05-21-2012, 09:20 AM

one limps with AA hoping for a raise that one can reraise and isolate with....( but only on an aggressive table....i wouldnt recommend limping with AA on a passive table ) thats the theory anyways...if its a play thats good enough for doyle...( occasionally)...then its good enough for me...( occasionally )...

Thats just online poker for ya....sometimes no matter how ya play them you will lose all your chips depending on a flop also.

I think you have to play under the assumption that AA usually wins but is one pair and only one pair so need to protect it. Sure play games with "ck and go", ck/raise etc. but your just looking to get donked like that. Personally I like AA heads up all in pre flop if I can offer it - hopefully they fold their big pre flop raise - if not your prolly 80% plus. problem is - if its very ealry in a tourney and you dont want to get railed you may want to play slower and feel them out but youy have to rasie pre flop no mwtter what - specially in a free roll. They will instantly think you are bluffing and call you down if you do anything else. This is gd most time but early on you dont want a war just a battle for 30% of your stack max.
