    MP3 ($9.20)
    CO ($3.30)
    Hero ($9.50)
    SB ($9.95)

    you did fine. you got it in preflop with AA and only 2 villains. you did your job. the rest is up to the 70%.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    Concur. How could you know the villain behind you would call a big rr? At least a third of the times I play this line with a 3/4xbet raise, everyone folds. You got plenty of action, but not too much to let them school on you. I'll take a 3-way all-in w/ AA for any amount of money up to half my roll, any day!!

    At NL10, I find AA dominates totally in these situations, with the third player all-in often with hands as bad as AJ+ and TT+. And if the villain in EP has a real hand, you're in nice shape against it, too.

    Here's the stove's view on the action (if my range estimates are accurate):

    If the K on the turn makes a set, it was pretty much a 6:1 long shot that hit against you.
