Slowplaying AA

[Haji]

Well, heres the result of me trying to slowplay my AA... I suppose I shouldn't have tried to this late in the tounry, but I thought I had the guy. I put him on tilt earlier in the tourny by catching a few lucky hands against him and he had it out for me. I thought he finally cracked and was shoving with top pair... stupid me!

It looks fine. Slowplaying AA is a good move when it's 3 handed.

Take your medicine. I think 8 in 10 times you take his whole stack in that situation.

Every tournament is going to have a few moments like that. When you come out on top, you win. When u get unlucky, that's poker.
