Hand Review

If you have any indication of how aggro the opponents are, use that as a guide.
MP+1 looks like they could play too many hands.

Option 1: Some of the NLHE specialists may disagree, but as UTG, they'll expect you to have an A, so small (1/4 pot) may make them think you're representing an A when you don't have one.
Option 2: Delayed CBet often works well here. Just check/call the flop, and if it checks around, then 1/3 to 1/2 pot OTT. If anyone bet the flop, check/call the turn, and hope opponent bets big each time.
Option 3: Check/raise the flop. I don't like this because it screams "I haz a big Ace — maybe even two of 'em" and you'll get a chorus of folds.

Now for the real reason I answered this post:
Why are you sitting at a full-ring table with only 45 BB?

In case you get stacks in by the river, playing with a short stack cost you 55 BB on this hand alone.
If you are deliberately playing a short-stack strategy, though, this is an ideal table for it, but if that is the case, you're supposed to open-shove AA.

Have you gone through all the strategy articles on The No Limit Hold'em lessons overview? If not, set aside a half hour or so before each session to review a lesson.

This is even a good idea if (maybe even especially if) you've been playing for a while.
Yes, those lessons are fundamentals, but the fundamentals never change

All the best,

At NL2 the best strategy is to go all-in every hand, who the f*ck cares about the $2 man.

Smells like we playing the old fashion MSS on here. Goal will be to get as much money as possible with full house. I expect both villains could be sticky with all kind of hands like flush draws that would give up if they miss and are willing to call with it on flop and turn. I would go for the old fashion bet, bet, bet strategy to try to get it in on the river. If they don't have anything it's to bad I think.

Thanks SDK but the lessons do not say to open shove AA, you raise and if re-raised you then shove all in, see pre flop charts.
Guys you got this one all wrong here is full hand, I am actually a 45/1 dog on flop.

Villian has 3d3h

What can we say. Villain can only have 1 hand you lose against and that's the case this time.
Also it's not smart to make decisions based on the end result of the hand.
You can't know villain has quads untill you get on the showdown and this is just a cooler and you never get away here.
