(Small reward vs time, so shoot me, I’m impatient).

Sometimes I just want to play, and choose whatever game is up next. This has very little to do with poker, but mostly about pseudo poker, as played in the lower, and medium priced games. If you bet the flop small like the solver suggests, then I think you’re just going with aces at that point no matter what.Īllow me to introduce another way to hang yourself with AA. It does start folding aces when stacks are deeper. I don’t think that’s happening in practice, so it’s got to be close between calling and folding. I think given how shallow you were, you do probably have to call aces there, but the solver does expect the big blind to bluff all their missed clubs. It also always calls aces on the river, but it never raises. If it does check, it raises the turn to around the size you used. It almost never checks behind on the flop though, preferring small bets. (It stops limping deeper than 25bb, but when it has open limps, aces are always in there).

It basically pure open limps aces from the button at 12bb effective. Well, I didn’t realize how short stacked you were at first, and I wouldn’t put too much stock in my advice given that I almost never play tournaments, but I did take and look and see what gto wizard would do (I don’t have a subscription, but you can still run one hand a day) I’m not trying to encourage people to slow play aces, it is usually not the best option, but making any strategic decisions based off just one hand is going to get you into far more trouble. I guess they could also be turning a counterfeit two pair into a bluff, blocking full houses, but not many people find that one.Ĭonversely, if it’s not the Kh, you probably win a nice sized pot - likely much larger than what you would have won by playing more aggressively early. You have the Ac, so he can’t have the most obvious bluff, and almost everything else beats you. The Kh is the worst card in the deck for you though, so I think on that one specific card, you just have to fold. The hand is also well played up until the river, with a good sized check raise on the turn, when you’re hand is well disguised and still almost certainly ahead. I don’t think that’s necessarily all that bad. Actually, if you’re going to open limp any hands from the button, you probably need aces to be in that range sometimes too.
