Hi
this is my very first post in this forum so maybe my answer wont have any credibility but I will answer anyway. By the way im not really good in english so dont be surprise if my syntax is totally awful !


With such a flop you did a good raise because you had the best pair and a straight draw. You should have paid attention to the re-raise of Sneekee Pete though. With a straight draw he wouldnt have re-raised. If you consider that he may have the straight your hand is totally useless. A Jack would simply split the pot. You should have folded.

The turn counterfeited your hand. The jack on the river would mean a straight on the board. Your only chance to beat a straight would be another 10 or Ace to complete the full house. 8 on 1 . Now folding is absolutly necessary.

Ok maybe you guys just play AK suited or Pocket Ace but I would give ATo a chance.
You guys are expert (?) right ?
Why dont you explain your reasoning instead of just saying that its too weak ?

just the way you said it was funny. Obviously its good to play in allot of situations. This one, i think he played it good preflop.

HOwever on the flop i fold this really fast. Once i see strength from two players like this, i gott let it go, based on experiance. basically sneekee pete is the one im worried about. CAlling like you did is bad here. Either re-raise and go all in, or fold.

I dont play 10 handed games, but if i did, I would fold the ATo.

A. 2ppl have already entered the pot, to make them fold, I would have to bet 6-8bb. (and i want them to fold pf!)

B. also, my position is poor. Im like 4th -5th to act, so a possibility that someon after me might raise.

C. ATo is a weak hand for community pots. Its not really a drawing hand.

So in this case, i would either call or fold. b/c of the position I fold.
