I just sat down at the table, so I had no reads on this guy. He plays me like he hits a set or less likely two pair, so I check-call to the river. Should I have put more pressure on him?

Yeah, he might have a set, but at a loose table I'd probably bet into him on the turn. You'll see enough people playing their KQ and AQ this way that you'll make up for the occasional extra bet you cost yourself if you encounter 88 or 77.
If he raises your flop bet, then I'd back off and call, then check-call the river.:cool:

Hi and Welcome,
IMO, I woulda bet into him on the turn and make him question the KQo he had in his hand...

When playing low limit like .5/1, I have found that any guy can really have anything at any time. It is very difficult to get any information from your betting other than he has at least a pair, and probably a pair of queens (AQ in hand).
In my limited experience, I have calculated the hands that could beat me. You would have to worry about two pair or a set. Also at the river, you would have to worry about a flush. The odds are that the AA is the winner for the whole hand so I just bet the maximum the guy is willing to pay and hope the AA holds out. Also, another A could appear for you.
I am more afraid with my AA when the board is paired or there is a straight or flush possibility after the flop. After your flop, there is a straight draw, no flush draw, no board pair so I would have continued firing on the odds that AA has a better than 50% chance of winning. If there was another player in the pot, it would be a different story.
If you raised him at the turn and he reraised you, then maybe you could think about it a bit more.
The less people in the pot after the flop, the more I like my AA.

BTW, I guess I should put in a bad beat here. I have AA, I raise get a couple of callers.
Flop is K 2 4, different suits. Like my advice above I start firing and get a couple of calls. After the turn, I fire again and all fold except one raise. The turn and river are 9 Q with no flush possible. So what does my opponent turn over? 3,5 offsuit. Unbelievable, calling a pre-flop raise with 3,5 off.
That's life at the low limit table for you.Last edited by Ottawa Mike; 04-08-2005 at 11:49 AM.

By the way, he had pocket kings. Him not reraising me preflop threw me off. I had a similar hand like that the other day where I had pocket aces.
Someone raised preflop, I reraised, and someone else capped. The capper was a tight player, so I knew he had either kings or aces, most likely kings. No four flushes or four straights ever come and we cap every round. He shows aces and I show kings. I wish I had enough information to do that to this guy.

I think you've gotta check/call the turn and river. Too much money in the pot to fold and this guy could have AQ, but he could very well have 88 or 77.

On a rainbow board with a preflop raise (reducing the chance of something like 9-10 being out), don't you think an 88 or 77 just calls the flop though to get raise-happy on the turn instead when the bets are bigger? Originally Posted by the alex

I am confused. I understand that this guy was an idiot, but how did u take a bad beat here? The way you describe it, there was no possible flush, you had AA 2 4 9 Q K, and he had 2 3 4 5 9 Q K. This would make you the winner. Originally Posted by Ottawa Mike
