Right and Wrong to play pocket A's in this situation...

[TheShadz]

How could this have been played differently considering UTG 3x raises. The read I got from this play was AK, AQ, AJ suited.

I'm with Coleman on this one. WTF??!!

You're always looking to get as many chips as possible in the middle with AA. I probably would have re raised more to aroun 40 - 48,000 but that's just me.

Also how can your read be AK,AQ,AJ suited. Pretty small range and no pockets are apart of it? That's just an "insane" read, and that's as polite I can be about it. EIther way against his range you are a 3.8 to 1 favourite. If you're not willing to get your chips in when you have this much of an edge then I suggest you take a break from poker and take up competitive monopoly.

what more do you want? do you want him to fold pre with 88?

of course you dont.

you got sucked out on, but meh it happens. thats just poker.

ohhhh now i see what that dude with the E book was on about

Online poker must be rigged because you both had a 11% chance of hitting a set but his lowley 8's was forced to win despite your aces.



Bad luck shadz, it hurts but once he re raised my raise i would be all in quicker than the time it took to run the bar tab down at the 888pl final pre show.

as said thats poker

at that, we just had a 2 week break, I don't need another one... I'd go "insane" with no-poker atm i think.

and also I admit the read was a bad one, really bad one, really really bad one my behalf obviously, but that's why I asked for some input here too improve my play. That's what poker is about.

Cheers for the input.

I love fresh pineapple!

saying that he had AJ AQ or AK just because he raised, isn't a "read" its guessing.
