    This is just a pointless reply to make my thread come to the front of the line.

    I find it pretty weak tight, yes.

    You raised a lot PF, so he probably doesnt have an 8. Perhaps A8s at best.

    I dont know, Id put him on a overpair or even a smaller PP, and hes testing the waters there.

    I think the majority of average player there would just call with a FH or trips because they want to extract maximum value. Im definatly reraising there.

    Yes. He's probably holding a 9 or a pocket to see where he stands. People love to do stupid raises on low hands like this when they believe someone's bet missed them. Hammer it and you'll get a fold, a stupid call by someone with a 9, or you have an opportunity to suckout and hit a two outer (and punish the person for calling your raise with x8)
    Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
    Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
    Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place
    Tbags [observer]: another scumbag gets there on this site lol

    Don't do that.

    I have to say that I wouldn't fold AA if it is a small buy-in and if I'm facing some weak players. I would raise AI after kirita bet. I wouldn't care if I lost.

    problem with this board is that there is both the flush and str8 draws. So u have no idea if the guy is raising with an 8 or if he is just juicing the pot with a hand like TcJc.

    I like the call there and see what the turn brings.

    I was kinda worried about the BB in this hand... but I see he folded to the min/raise, so he was just betting with air. That minraise is a little scary , but not on this flop, not for AA. You are behind exactly 3 hands 88/99/89. Which are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd nuts and very unlikley to be drawn out on. You are a small favorite over 67c, JTc ,and the ever popular 6/Tc...

    You should not have folded here. I think you have to push though unless you are folding if a club turns.
