how to butcher AA.
Hey, Love your vids though I much prefer your older style of commentating over the hands yourself rather than using a computer generated voice to read a hand out.
A lot of people saying reraise pre flop "if you raised T6s never comes along". As played you were something like a 70% favourite to got a full double up on the turn and that's sick. Played it fine, got sucked out on. Keep going for 1st spot that's where the money is in these tournaments.
The information missing here is were you in the money at the time and were you average stack or shortstack. The play is fine if you're short and already ITM. But I dont like the play with a healthy stack or pre-ITM.
limping with QQ+ preflop is a kind of play which has only one purpose – someone from the other players to raise so we can 3bet then and try to force him/them to 4bet/all-in. So I think you had to go all-in rather than just a flat call preflop when the action came back to you after the short stack shoved.
Shoulda limp raised. Limp flatting there is bad IMO in a tourney. What a donk semi bluffing with T6h on that flop. Side pot was non existent. Bad play
Thanks everyone who commented. I took a week break from poker so I missed all the chatter.
With this line you are disguising your hand, yes thats true. But the cost of that is, that you take a very suboptimal line to say the least. If the whole table limp behind you, you end up in the worst possible position with your hand: Out of position in a very multiway deep SPR pot. What you want with AA is the opposite, a low SPR heads up or maybe at most 3-way pot to reduce your reverse implied odds in the hand. As played, once the stort stack behind you jam, you HAVE to go for a 3-bet to around 25.000$. By just flatting you are giving your opponent a sick price to take position on you in a high SPR pot, where he will have huge implied odds, if he make a strong hand. The size of the 3-bet should be as big, as you think he might possibly call, but small enough that it looks like, you have not committed yourself to the pot just yet. So no more than 1/3 of your total stack. He sucked out on you yes, but you kind of dug your own grave here. If you put in a 3-bet to 25.000$ preflop, then T6 suited goes away, and then this thing will not happen. You would likely win the hand against the all-in guy and increase your chip stack with 25%. Which is never that bad, particularly not in a tournament.
In this situation you want to isolate the all-in by jamming, you don't want to go 3 ways to a flop with any pocket pair unless you can make an easy fold in later streets and not over commit your stack to one hand. It's best to limp or call pre-flop to disguise the strength of your hand and make the tough decision to jam the flop or just check call the whole way through depending on your opponents range. if it's late in a tournament and you are getting low on bb's it's a jam in my book, otherwise play the hand out but don't put your stack in a bad spot. It's best to play majority of pocket pairs as a calling station but don't over commit your stack to this one hand, because now you can't play your suited connectors. Folding is what makes us all better players, even if you lost a chunk of money you can still cash out or you're still alive.
Check raise was bad…all in was worse…draws got u because you were to aggressive…u could of lost a lot less slow playing
