| I just need to hear some opinions on this. I'm in a SNG at UB this weekend. Down to 6 people. Mostly in these SNG's I do nothing for about 1/2 hour or until we are down to 5. Play only strong hand. Here goes: I'm in late position (1 off the button) and I get AA. All but SB and BB have folded so I raise the pot to 300 in hopes of getting some action. The SB raises another 100 and the BB folds. When I gets to me I go 'all in' and (to my surprise) the SB goes all in right away. We turn over and I'm AA up against KJs. I'm pretty pumped. Flop comes K, 5, J and I am miffed. The Turn and the River are meaningless and I'm done. Thoughts on if I played this wrong? -desi | ||

| I think your opponent was wrong in his play, therefore, would have me baffled. Why pop back for even odds with King-Jack?...then call an all-in? You say you raised TO 300. Sounds like a minimal raise. On this premise, this opens up a lot more re-raise hands (possibly your intent) than if you raised it BY 300 and were re-raised. His $100 pop doesn't tell me anything except he wants to know if you're really in the hand. Regardless of any of this, you got in pre-flop with AA, and had the opportunity to eliminate a player that took the bait. What else do you want? IMHO, desi good, opponent bad. on 22.

| My mistake. This beat has me very upset. I did not raise TO $300, I raised $300. Pretty substantial raise ( about 2x pot) given the stakes. I realize that this was not a high-stakes SNG but beats like this gnaw at me if I think that I did not play it correctly. I might have gone 'all-in' right off the bat? -desi | ||

| NO NO!!!! you played it very well! you got called by KJ... suited or not its crap! i fold stuff like that early position with no raises whatsoever! (in live games depending on the game) when you have a hand like AA you have not a care in the world what the idiot has!you've got the nuts at that point, there fore you WANT him to call! in fact... i would have raised it less! even the minimum! but your first reaction was great! good instinct on your part! dont doubt that play! Dezi good.... oponent veeeeery bad! lol | ||

| If you raised $300, then he cant raise another $100. His raise has to be at least as much as yours. | ||
