Question about this play.. first post

First of all I want to say that this is a great website and I have found some great advice on this forum to improve my game. Here's the situation...

NL 200 6-max, blinds $1/$2

I have a loose-agressive table image, most of the hands I have been playing I have raised preflop and taken the pot down on the flop. I've only re-raised preflop once.. with KK, and destacked someone on an AKx board (unfortunately he started with less then half a stack)

Noteworthy stack sizes:
UTG: $187
UTG+1: $122
Myself: $475

Lukie (myself) dealt As Ah OTB.
UTG raises to $12.
UTG+1 calls.
UTG+2 folds.
Lukie raises to $50 OTB.
Both blinds fold.
UTG and UTG+1 both call.

Flop: 9c, 8s, Ac

UTG bets $2.
UTG+1 folds (yes, he folded to a $2 bet into a $150 pot )
????????????????
Lukie raises to $75.
UTG folds.

I have a hard time putting UTG on a hand there, although QQ, KK, AK seem reasonable. QQ (even JJ) seem the most likely. I wouldn't even rule out KQ, even Kc, Qc as a possibility.

Would any of you have played this differently.. ie. milking them on the flop and turn, or pushing on the flop? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd raise enough to put either player all in, if they were to call. The pot is huge, your hand is the current nuts, and they don't have that much money left. My only goal is to get their money in as fast as possible. There's both a flush and straight draw possible; considering your image at the table, it's possible you'll get action from either draw when you raise them all in.

Ya, looking back on it that is probably the best play.

Even though I would find the straight draw extremely unlikely and the flush draw unlikely with Ac on the board. Probably not a good time to get cute though considering the huge pot.

If you're seen as LAGGy leaning slightly towards maniacal, I'd push right away. Sure, you could just bet the amount that the big stack has left, but nothing smells fishy like a big AI right away without even seeming to look at stack sizes.

I think you played it fine, though I like betting the size of UTG's stack... or $.o1 less than his stack - there's something so demoralizing about that.

qwned, bump

I have a loose-agressive table image

So you could play pokah once upon a time then eh lukie?

GOD, LUKIE IS MORE OF A FISH THAN HE GOES TO THE TANNING SALON.

IE HE IS A FUCING HGUE FISH>

lol

18 Tables? Are you insane? How is that going?

Well I did it more so just for the screen shot lol... Stars actually only lets you play up to 12 at once, something I found out after I started trying to play 18 at once. The most I've ever seriously played was 10.

But it makes for a good picture!

I think you could set up multiple monitors under multiple accounts and BAM! 27 tables.

I swear one day I'm going to play 30 tables just to see what happens.

I didn't read any of these posts but whatever the play was I'm sure it was horrible.

I don't doubt this.
