Ooo VERY BAD NIGHT Lost my preflop $7 All-in AKo to a TT

Is this really happening to me? :)

I planned to go All-in with my first big hand. Figured I would be called.
It didn't work!
Bad play?

Eh... it's a coinflip, you'll win some and lose some. Technically you're a slight dog, but not enough that it makes a difference. I don't know that it would have made a bit of difference if it had played out normally; you would have flopped that top pair top kicker and soon enough put all your money in anyway.

Not a bad play. Not a bad beat. That's just poker, yo.

First of all, don't be sitting at a NL table with $7 when the max buyin is $25.

Second, what sense is there in going nuclear with AK like this? Put in a reasonable raise and play the flop.

You're only 45% to win this hand. I don't think the blind money makes up for the rake plus what you're losing here, even if you're short stacked.

Why is this even a post?

You pushed with a small stack, a good hand called you and beat you.

Hrmm....

-'rilla

I agree with Tyler.

Why push in this scenario? What was your thinking behind having to push with the first good hand you got dealt?

i think he's been reading the 'allin' post in NL about sitting with a small stack then going allin.

That plan, of course, is a long-term plan and requires a big bankroll.

Wasnt played that badly, wasnt called that badly.

Happens at least 20 times a session, you only lost $7.

What exactly was the question?
