Hands lost to AA for comment...

[Renton]

All these hands happened within about 5 minutes of each other when I was six-tabling party 50nl just now. I just had to quit playing for the day after these hands, because I would get paranoid whenever someone was raising, thinking they had aces, and usually being right.

I don't see any big mistakes here.

I like raising the flop in hand nr1 with two pelple behind to cut off the odds for draws. UTG will likely shove it in with a strong overpair after committing so much $ in the pot anyhow.

Hand nr2: Be glad he played the hand so timidly.

nr3: fold flop in most similar hands

nr4: standard, you are calling the reraise for set value against most opponents

I like raising the flop in hand nr1 with two pelple behind to cut off the odds for draws.

As a rule, when there are draws on the board, I play my hand really fast reguardless of what I have (if I choose to continue.)

Again, both replies took the words out of my mouth, however,

Hand 1: This is technically slowplaying a set, and you should know better than that, with two to a flush and straight (though a low straight) on the board. Let AA suck out, you'll feel better.

Hand 2: These are tragic, obviously. But tell him something to the effect of, "Thanx for playing AA like such a donkey, I hope i'm on the happy end when you lose the next 4 out of 5 AA's playing like this..." Actually, don't tell him this at all, but think it to yourself.

Hand 3: Similar to hand 2, playing AA weak and terrible, weak calling and betting to a cheap showdown. Questionable flop call though. It's nice that the OESD opened up on the turn, and that he let you see the river for free, (Edit: you led out on the turn, he didn't check to you, my mistake... seeing someone else do this, it's look bad in certain situations, though i see myself doing it, so...) don't price yourself out for him, though this varies, I don't think you get any fold equity from this bet, considering he seems to be a "take AA to showdown no matter what, hope it holds up" kind of player.

Hand 4: Fine.
