    Default Thoughts on this suited connector play?

    Did I play this correctly? Limping on button against deep stacks is preferred with these types of hands correct?

    Happens... but what the hell is rklemr doing? Is limping with AA really the new fad? Is calling a min bet with top set on a flush draw the new fad?? Is sucking out after playing horribly the new trend?

    I enjoy how rkelmr is finally betting and doing action at the only street he is actually beat on.

    Maybe its been too long since I played .10/.25 NL....
    Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
    Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
    Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place
    Tbags [observer]: another scumbag gets there on this site lol

    Ya I have no clue what he was doing. I was shocked when the chips went his direction. I was thinking he hit his straight draw and God knows Party's 25 NL players gladly give all their chips away on those.

    Preflop was not bad.

    Your betting was kinda um...well...not good. What hand realistically calls you here that will normally be there? Top 2 and a set are not going to be there more often than not, and I can't see TPTK calling there.

    YOu should have raised, but not THAT much. Normally, that only gets a higher flush to kill you.

    I don't think so. You were only in it what, $2.50? And you pushed your hole stack in with not even the nut flush. I would have thrown out a small bet to hopefully keep him from raising me a big stack. I guess it also depends on what you know about the player, but I don't think I would have pushed.

    He got all his money in on the turn with his opp on 9 outs...But i agree, USUALLY only a better hand is calling that turn ultra raise. I woulda gone with 3.50$ just to show him ur serious, he woulda called with top set most likely, if river was a blank you could probably still get all your money in with the flush vs this fool with AAA, if it paired the board you'd have saved yourself some money.
