[Closed] Live Tourney Hand: AA first hand

very nice hand... the bet size is good against loose players as they propably are and the line on the flop is also good as you have the nuts at that point... if you got busted by a flush, you can't stop those guys from commiting their chips as a big underdog, but they help you to get in a position to win the whole thing maybe if your aces hold up

You played it perfectly IMO!
Let me guess... He had x :diamond:x ??

yeah... villain had 3 5

just posted it as it really made me doubt the way i played the hand...

now am assured that the play i made was correct... ♦ ♦ ♦

In early stages of tournament, I like to raise around 6-7 BBs with monsters like AA or KK, just to get donks out and play HU if possible. I would play this hand exactly like you, too bad donk sucked out.

nh, you had the best possible hand preflop and raised, you had the nuts at the flop and gone all in.

you can't make a mistake doing that.

yea at a reallife tounrey your rasing size preflop is very good.
but on the flop you should not overbet it.
a potsize bet is just good enough to deny good odds to a drawing hand but it leaves you with more chances to earn some chips from him.
your overbet is a bit over the edge i think you have the nuts, and even if he is on a draw he is a huge underdog to your set, so i would really consider to bet a bit lower to get more chips in easier.
this overbet will chase him away most of the time.

here it works and you cannot fold because you have the nuts.

still i dont like the flop overbet so much.

I think he did bet pot size

oh yea i see there was another caller.
yea then its very good
