1/2: AA in 3-way 4b pot, $900 deep

I am fine with that. I was referring to several people who were considering folding.

Hand is really not interesting or worth posting. Maybe a bad beat, ran AA into KKK.

Thanks for the input y’all.

Results:

I tank folded.

River is a blank and goes x/x.

Reg announces “just a jack”.

CO tables QQ FTW.

I’ve never been more tilted in my life.

Nice fold.

Ah that sucks. Make sure you learn from this spot (spend some time studying how to play 4bet pots, etc) because this fold is a huge EV mistake. So many of the spots that poker players spend time analyzing are only worth fractions of a BB but this spot is worth a ton.

Why should you study it? It isn't close at all. Check the flop and fold your overpair to a 1/3 pot turn bet and a call??? It was a dream situation, which you blew because you got scared that the pot was big or something.

lol at this thread.

Your username is to be blamed.

Not sure what you are taking issue with here, you and I are in agreement on how the hand was played. I suggested OP study this spot (and 4BPs in general) because I think he made large fundamental mistakes in this hand.

It's not worth studying. Why would you spend time studying it? Maybe run it in a solver? It is ridiculous. Some really awful posters ITT.

Spr is too low to fold. I think betting flop to get value from AK and QQ is the way to go. Bet small so they can’t hero fold.

Of course it’s worth studying lol. I’m not saying OP needs to run this hand in a solver, I’m saying he needs to do a basic review of how to play AA OOP in a 4bet pot. It’s a common and extremely high value spot that he made a giant mistake in.

Next time I’ll just troll him and post “Nice fold” like you I guess. That was a really great post.

I think checking the flop is actively good. In fact I think betting the flop is a mistake. Our hand is never a bluff, equity denial is minimal, and it doesn't need to go for value yet because SPR is so low. Little upside to betting, and significant downside (many hands could give up on the Flop but get sticky if you delay the bet).

As for the Turn, call. We just don't have enough information to say we're beat much more than 50% of the time, and we need much less than 50% equity to make the call. JJ and KK are just three combos each, and there are lots of other hands that could play like this.

Edit: missed that the reveal was already posted, but, idk, doesn't change my take.

Your user name may be a co-conspirator.

What even is this thread? You have AA, the pot is $720 with $660 back, the money is going in unless maybe it's KQJ flop with the wrong suits.
Basically: it is a fools errand to narrow someone's range to 1 hand (especially so early in the hand). We do shortcuts like this all the time- "he's got an overpair", "he's prob got a flush draw" and here it's fine to say QQ+/AK, play accordingly, you're fine to get the money in.

You want to gii with AA on KQJ with less than a psb back. AA has a straight draw on KQJ. Plus you beat some 2 pair when the board pairs and have outs to top set. You have a lot of equity with AA on that board.

Prob agree just tryna think of the absolute shite flop for AA against given range, and I think it depends on the action too. All can agree K88J isn't the ebola runout

T98 with a 3-flush where you don't have the suit would be maybe the worst flop for AA. Still might not be able to fold it this shallow.

OP and the posters saying consider fold have huge leaks.

$900 is shallow at 1/2?

You can play weak/tight because it is a lot of money. Shallow in that there is less than a psb behind.

On the river, yes, but you should make yourself clear -- $900 is not shallow for a 1/2 game. (If you are talking to me personally, you are way off mark.)

Honest question for OP, you post hands here all the time, do you ever learn anything from them?

This is an extremely basic dream scenario against two apparent droolers and you have no idea how to play it. This is 1-2 against zero level opponents, not a 5-10 game against experts.

At some point you(and other frequent thread starters)gotta start learning from this forum.

After a 4bet call, with an SPR of 2 on a dry flop, I would just push with AA. Your typical loose-passive calls too much. By betting, you force the loose passive to make an error. You give him the opportunity to call with worse.

I prioritize posting the worst hands I played, and I hope the OP does as well! It takes a long time to learn to play poker.

personally idk why people think it's okay/decent/a good idea to keep shitting on OP for making a mistake in a hand. This isn't even a repeated mistake, it's just one mistake in one situation. It's also not even the worst played hand among submissions I can remember recently (not that that would make it okay)

This is one of the worst played hands I have seen posted or called into Crush Live Poker, etc.
