I dont know what else you could do except realize you will win against this hand more than 80% of the time and in reality you want him to call you down to the river with only 2 outs. I say put him on your buddy list and get your money back.

The suck-outs of low limit Hold’em, that's a bitch... Anyways he was a 4 to 1 underdog in the hand from the begging, so I think you play it well and I think you could have made him fold that pair in a no limit game, in limit people figure I’m in it this far might as well see that next card it's only one more bet... You get more suck outs in limit I do believe then no limit... Add this guy to your buddy list and win your money back... Suck-outs like that you'll win about 80% of the time... good luck...

Its not a bad beat..
A bad beat would be something like

Dealt to you AA
Flop AKK
Turn 2
River 2

You have AAAKK for Aces full of Kings
Player 3 turnes over 22 for Quad 2's

What happened ot you is just a tough break, more of a lucky draw. Be glad he's passive and didn't re-raise you on the river. Keep playing with this guy and let him continue to call you down with dominated hands.

What your describing here is short term.
I'm playing .5/1, I have 3600 hands recorded.
I've had pocket Aces 13 times. I have won 61% of those hands for a profit of about $25.

Just stick with it, it will come back around.

Preflop : Why bet 2x the BB with AA?? You're letting in so many hands...

Flop : You're betting less than what you bet preflop, showing weakness and begging for someone to call and outdraw you. The board is double suited, that means someone could have a flush draw, this means bet even harder.

Turn : Possible flush due to lack of betting.

River : I'm not sure why he didn't re-raise you, but you're lucky you didn't lose alot on this hand.

Ummm.... this is the limit forum... Us poor limit players can't sit around all day waiting for Aces because when we get 'em we can't protect them very well....

Don't show, particularly at a short handed table.

[Gatorcon]

I thought it might get my PF Raise a little more respect. Everyone was at the table for awhile and seemed to be sticking around.

Just my thought?

With 6 or less at the table, don't ever expect to take down the blinds pre-flop with a raise. Adjust accordingly. I also doubt you're playing LAggy enough to not want lots of calls.

Ooops!

Note to self, don't post after just waking up.
