is there a better line here? did i play it too tricky

[Reidak]

oh man i should never have posted this butchery. be nice

[bigspenda73]

you're 50/50 against his range

[bigspenda73]

oh ya, there are more way to get dealt AA than AK

[Reidak]

i was more concerned with how i played my big hand there. theres what like $50 to start the pot? i felt me betting the flop would be super transparent. On the turn I don't want to blow out flush draws or medium aces

[NLHE lahooozaher]

Leading the flop small ($20) may not be transparent and one of the cold callers can easily have a Queen here. I wouldn't bet here though because Derf is going to bet a very large % of the time. Having this flop check through isn't a disaster though, the only draw is JT and you only have to bet 2 streets to get your stack in.

[Reidak]

okay maybe not so bad at all. i had the same line of thinking on the turn bet. how was my sizing? was i inviting too many people to the party? flush/straight draws ?

[NLHE lahooozaher]

was i inviting too many people to the party? flush/straight draws ?

I don't think so. They're not getting direct odds but may be getting implied odds depending on the card and how the action goes.

As for bet sizing I think it's pretty poor. I'd bet $30 on the turn and $60(all in) on the river. I don't think Derf is going to stack off very often with AK against these bets though, but I take that chance.

perfect, i thought it went without saying!

another thought on the hand, I think you're ahead - AA won't be checking this flop

[Miffed22001]

ffs bet the flop so we can get it in easy on later streets
