    1) wtf is he doing limping UTG ?
    2) I would of raised on the flop to 1200 instead of flat call and revaluate wtf is going on. If he pushes all in I fold. If he flat calls I check fold the rest of the hand. There is no need to risk everything right here right now

    he is :
    a) High pocket Pair : AA-KK, AK. If he's playing 2nd hand low (hopes a raise for his aces or kings preflop) then you are dead
    b) I don't put him on 10's.
    c) Why the hell did he limped for again UTG... A-9s (donkament hand, "sooooooooootteedddd ace", AA, KK

    I'd fold here because it really smells wrong + again, you are not desperate or shortstacked. Neither is he. Why would he push all in with a marginal hand and risk all his stack ?
    He has you beat with either A-9 suited, AA, KK

    If he has Kx (AK, KQ or KJ), then good for him, but there will be other moments

    since it went to the river, im assuming the rebuys are over? if not and u can still rebuy, call

    otherwise....hmmm.....


    u played it like a donk with a T so when u bet the river and ive got a K, im also pushing hoping u cant lay ur T down. check/call river again would be my preferred thinking here as hes most likely to bet half pot again and u get to showdown.

    id say to probably call and fully expect a chop although im weak and would more than likely fold.

    Your opponent has a similar aggression factor as mine. If I try to go into his mind... ok, I would have gone all in with a 9, knowing you have a full house that is eager to call. Now if I reraise you 2400 you would have called. If I reraise you 5000 you probably would have folded. But if I go all in, you will become suspicious and call.

    Now if I have a K or T I would have just called.

    Maybe it is better to fold.

    I like to check call river. Villain seems aggressive.

    you've put 1600 into the pot, about a tenth of your stack before the hand. The outcome is likely a split at best, and now your whole stack is on the line.

    as x said, there will be other moments. What was the result?
