    You played it fine.

    bills should raise KQ or fold it when blinds are 50/100. After he limped in, he should fold to the reraise. I can understand though that he called the allins on the flop, looks like he had the pot odds to do it with his OESD.

    Alex should push prf and dont give his opponents a chance to make a correct decision on the flop.

    bill should open raise and fold to a big reraise preflop. he is fine with gambling on the flop because his stack is small.

    you played it fine.

    alex should have pushed preflop. the flop sucks for AA, but his stack is so small he almost has to play it, because he set himself on getting allin on the flop by not reraising preflop.

    I don't mind the AA smooth call pf because it will disguise his hand a bit and likely still accomplish getting the pot hu or 3 way. If the flop was coordinated for a flush you may be wondering if he hit the flush or str8. I don't like his smooth call pf because if he had pushed you may have folded and he could've saved his stack (but that analysis is based upon the result). I like your post-flop play but I would've just limped it b/c JJ is a loser unimproved.

    btw, sorry about the 9 on the river. Weakest hand PF wins on riverstars shiftone shiftone shiftone shiftone shiftone shiftone shiftone shiftone shiftone shiftone shiftone (triptanes cracks me up)
    I'll be a rootin' tootin' shootin' damn fool, protectin' my chips.

    I think Alex was wrong im not reraising pf. with a limp and a 4bb raise before him the pot is nice enough to pick it there, or hope for one caller.
    I think bill made a mistake by calling the PFR. With a raise and a call I dont think KQ is a good enough hand to call the raise.
    I think on the flop all three of us made the correct decision. For me it was a bad board but with my stack size pushing is the only option. For Alex there are so many hands that can push here that he beats that I can't fault his call, and for bill once both of us went AI calling with TPGK and a OESD is a good move.

    LOL, you are almost correct.
    The 9 did hit on the turn completing bill's str8, but another T hit the river completing my boat and handing me a nice pot

    you played it fine, QK should have folded preflop, and AA played it fine too, i often play AA this way with those blinds and stacks because a push will sometimes get JJ and 1010 to fold preflop, he was just unlucky that you hit, but he takes your stack if its a rag flop.
