I hate AA. Everytime I limp from UTG I get like 5 or 6 callers and guess what - although I always make a correct play, what is shoving all-in regardless of flop texture, pot size and number of players in the pot, I always lose to some idiot who overlimped me preflop and hit his set with 44 or smth. I'm the unluckiest player ever. FML.


I agree with a lot of things you say but limping with AA UTG? That´s suicide.

I never limp with a big pair, no point in slow playing them just gives people a chance to catch up.

understand what you are saying but what if there is no raise then you are giving all the crap hands a chance, including BB who has not had to put any more chips in to hit 2 pair with his 7.2 off suit lol No its a raise every time for me get rid of the crap then take it from there, at the end of the day AA is only a pair, top pair granted but still only a pair.

All in is a good way to lose value, since most people won't call.

A hand that only is dealt once in 220 must be explored to the maximum.

Someone limped in from Sb with one caller UtG and I had AQc on the BB. Never put anyone with any PP until I raised 3xBB, then small blind reraises All-in!! UTG folds SB reveals AA vs my AQc.. Nut flush!! Again I say "Never slow play AA!!" He obviously wanted to get value, but I showed a very playable hand from the BB. I'm sure he figured he was against another PP after my raise, then it was too late for him to realize that he doesn't want the showdown and put me all-in. Busting AA is very profitable. Oh, and I made notes and saw him at another table the next week and he tried doing the same thing and got busted with a set. I thought he might have learned and I can't understand how anyone can slow play AA.

Correction: I raise, UTG folds then Sb decides to reraise. That's obvious order Preflop..

So let me get this straight, you raise 3bb on the bb and the sb reraises all in and you call? He trapped you and you got lucky. He should've reraised to 6-8bb but nonetheless i understand his play.

I agree with SimonsQQ. The only thing i don't like on his play is the limper utg. If you are on the sb and everyone folds to you, just complete the blind, because you don't want to scare the bb and maybe the bb might try to take the pot there. But with that limper it's harder to accomplish.

The thing is, it was a bad call. Best case scenario you're 50-50. In this case you were 87-13.

Lucky indeed

So you called a reraise twice and luck was on your side?
