 Hypothetical: What would you do?, danimales, 24. Nov 2003 11:08 | ||

| Every now and then I open a deck of cards at home and play solo practice hands. Every now and then a situation comes up which makes me wonder the best way to play it given certain circumstances, so I can apply it in the card rooms. I realize it leaves a lot of 'what ifs' as far as the betting goes and the style of play at the table, but it helps me analyze hands from different perspectives. Anyway, one came up last night that has me stumped. In late position, I'm dealt Ac 7c. I call the bets. Flop: Ad 8c Ah Now, I'm fearing someone else might have the other Ace with higher kicker. I would check the bet, or call a bet someone before me has made. Turn: As This would give me the nuts, plain and simple. I now have 4 aces, and, assuming there are a couple players still in it, what would be the best way to bet this hand to keep other players in but not cause them to fold? Anyone have any ideas on what might happen in live play, and how to play accordingly? What about from early or middle position (assuming you would actually call a bet with this hand from those positions). | ||

| I would look for anyone who may have raised pre-flop or someone who made a full house, with 3 A's on the board alot of people will doubt a ace being in the hole. I guess I would watch and try to place some one on poker pairs or if one of thier hole cards paired up on the board to give a nice boat. Ultimately though you have to check and call to play for the jackpot, you cant scare anyone off, oh wait,, there were no 10's on the board right? if there were 10's I would definatly try to keep everyone around for as cheap as possible for that jackpot chance, but if not jackpot again I would let everyone else do the betting and hope they make a hand on the river or before, maybe even a check raise if you have a fish or a loose player who might try to buy or bet the pot, and then raise them . Its tough with 3 a's on the board but i would alsp be tough for intermedite players to put you on ace unless you showed them otherwise- | ||

| Wouldn't pocket tens give someone the minimum jackpot hand? You don't need the tens on the board. At my card room minimum jackpot hand is aces full of tens with both hole cards in play. | ||

| In Tunica, for A full beaten by quads, you must hold an A in your hand. a board of AAA wil NOT qualify for jackpot. This point has caost several players a lot of money, in they believed they would get big jackpot and bet the house on the hand. Best to be sure you know the full rules on jackpots,before you make the plunge. | ||

| Just went on line to read the rules at Canterbury and they have the same rule. For Aces Full you must have an ace in your hand. Thanks BAMA. | ||

| So for aces full of tens you need an AT in your hand and the board to be AATxx and someone else has to have xx. Or you have AA and the board is ATTxx and the other guy needs TT or xx (or the xx can be the TT) I would imagine the most likely case is having AA and the board is ATTxy and the other guy has TT That makes it much more difficult than having a AAA board | ||

| you are welcome, one thing I learned early @ B&Ms, read and UNDERSTAND all the info for promos, especially bad beat jackpots. As i stated earlier, I've seen some bad situations arise because of misconceptions. Glad to be of service and Gl, | ||

| If you are in late position (or only have one person left to act behid you), you should bet it. You might get called by a pair, a K or a Q who will also call the river if they hit their card. Depending on the player, if a K or Q hits they might bet into and call your raise or even better might check-raise you. The reason for this is that some players might think you are trying to steal the pot and are there to "keep you honest". If you have at least two players left to act, then a check would probably be the best play. It might get checked around but thier isn't a card that can hurt you. You can bet the river and again might get a caller to "keep you honest". If someone behind you bets, then you can decide if you want to raise and win right there or maybe just call hoping they bet again on the end. Another reason for the bet, most players "think" that the person with the Ace would check so your bet adds some deception. If everyone folds, so be it. Just remember how you acted when you bet and when the board is scary and you are checked to, bet again, even if you don't have anything, | ||
