    Default Check my line with AA please - $25NL

    Just sat down at table and only stats on opp I have is over 60 hands 30/3/1. I'm not quite sure if opp remembers me but I play quite tight and willing to play big pots. Is this a standard fold?

    PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($45.05)
    UTG ($43.25)
    Hero ($24.10)
    Button ($95.05)
    SB ($10.00)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with A, A.
    UTG calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.25, 1 fold, SB calls $1.10, BB calls $1, UTG calls $1.

    Flop: ($5) 8, T, 4 (4 players)
    SB checks, BB bets $3, UTG calls $3, Hero raises to $10, SB folds, BB calls $7, UTG folds.

    Turn: ($28) K (2 players)
    BB bets $20, Hero ????

    I go bust here, I'm guessing he turned 2 pr?

    I think that with 2 pair, there would be a re-raise on the flop, as why would they want to give you the opportunity to draw to the flush. 2 pair I would be trying to get you to fold after the flop, which suggest they are not completely happy with their hand. If they had a hand, why bet out at it, out of position. With a short stack I would be all in here.

    With your stacksize and an overpair with only a potsize bet remaining its a call.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    This is NL25 right? The HH says .50 bb but action suggests .25 so effective stack size ~100bb.

    It's a set a lot but getting 3:1 is probably about right. This may be a fold for me in some games, but based on my days at pokerroom, I'd take those odds.

    Villian doesnt have enough behind him to make this a fold. Lets go to the felt.

    Don't ever fold with great odds, nothing behind, and a strong hand.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    Yes it is $25NL and I did fold. I thought hard and let the timer nearly run out and then convinced myself that 44, 88 and even KT would be in his range.

    I folded this as in the 'old and bad day' I constantly got destacked with 'just' one pair against the most weirdest holdings.

    I'm a 20NL player and I like doing this with diamond draws.

    ya I wouldn't like it but you only have 1/2 pot left on the turn.
    also I think raising like you did on the flop is ok, but sometimes I just push the flop...the pot will be $14 after you call the $3, and so it will be a small overbet but ppl might mistake it for a draw or even call on a draw.
