UnionGuy 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Dealer: Hand #98457395Dealer: trophyman306 posts the small blind of 15Dealer: Crazy8s1 posts the big blind of 30Dealer: You have been dealt [Ah As]Dealer: chubs87 foldsDealer: mikemanchest foldsDealer: Sam7744 calls 30Dealer: Ben4Poker raises to 90I raise, figuring the guy behind me will call. The table had been extremely passive up to this point, so I didn't want to scare everyone off with a big raise.Dealer: No1Brownsfan calls 90Guy behind me calls, which is surprising. I figured it would fold around to Sam77 and it would be heads-up.Dealer: LCH98 foldsDealer: RIT23 foldsDealer: trophyman306 foldsDealer: Crazy8s1 calls 60Dealer: Sam7744 calls 60Also surprising. Most people weren't defending their blinds.Dealer: The flop is [4s 2c Qs]Dealer: Crazy8s1 checksDealer: Sam7744 checksDealer: Ben4Poker bets 375I'm worried about the flush draw and want to bet for value. However, I think I should have bet a little less. Maybe half the pot? What do you guys think?Dealer: No1Brownsfan foldsDealer: Crazy8s1 foldsSam7744: i bombed outDealer: Sam7744 has 15 seconds left to actDealer: Sam7744 foldsDealer: Uncalled bet of 375 returned to Ben4PokerDealer: Ben4Poker mucksDealer: Ben4Poker wins the pot (375) Link to post Share on other sites
knght311 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I think it was a good bet, I always fast play my aces unless I hit top set with no draw...Pot sized bets are usually very scary to call with a draw as well as you have horrible odds so good bet and way to take down the pot with AA...

jack24bauer24 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Good bet. Betting the pot consistently makes you tough to read, and that was a bet thats going to get called my kq. Link to post Share on other sites
Ebonwoulfe 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Considering that it's early in a tourney, you don't need to be taking any risks with AA. That being said, you want to use the smallest bet that you think will do the trick. Consider winning the pot your priority, and if the pot inflates due to people making bad calls that's just a small bonus. Link to post Share on other sites
Kayyen 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'd much rather take down that pot early. There's not point in letting the flush draw a cheap shot at drawing out on you (or any weirder crazy draws). A caller wouldn't be bad.. but.. neither is winning it there.
