    Default Do I let this go?

    This was a 5/50. The only read I got was that he was pretty tight up to this point. I have to fold right?

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: t945
    UTG+1: t1240
    MP1: t1045
    Hero: t3425
    CO: t1045
    Button: t775
    SB: t115
    BB: t4910

    Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is MP2 with A A
    UTG raises to t90, UTG+1 calls t90, MP1 folds, Hero raises to t210, 4 folds, UTG calls t120, UTG+1 calls t120.

    Flop: 2 T 4 (t675, 3 players)
    UTG checks, UTG+1 bets t90, Hero raises to t180, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t90.

    Turn: 4 (t1035, 2 players)
    UTG+1 bets t180, Hero calls t180.

    River: J (t1395, 2 players)
    UTG+1 is all-in t670, Hero ???

    In your case the pot is 675 (after his bet 765). There are two to a flush on the board, your raise of 90 gives him 8.5:1 odds to call. Everyone is calling this. It wouldn't be wrong to call with 56o and the gutshot straight draw (assuming he called pre-flop). You need to give the flush draw bad odds to draw so I raise to 500 minimum (3:1). I could see raising him all-in here, make him draw for his entire stack because your hand isn't likely to improve.

    Your pre-flop raise is almost a min-raise. I don't hate it with one person, but with two you should make it 300. They both like their hands, at least one will call. Then you have a 1000 pot and it's an easy decision to bet the pot and push the remaining two all-in.

    As played I fold the river. If I call and he has a club then I make tilty moves trying to get my chips back. If I fold then I tighten way up and ride my stack (which doesn't put me in a spot where I have to make hard decisions). So I say, save your chips because there is plenty of poker left.

    With a raise and a call ahead of you preflop, Raise to 300-400. Someone will come along for the ride, you get more money in the pot, and its heads up.

    On the flop, UTG checks (2 overs?), UTG+1 bets (A10, flush draw, who knows?), so you should at least reraise big (pot sized), and probably just push. You are more than likely ahead unless one of them has a set of 10s, and there is a flush draw on the board. Make them pay all their chips to chase.

    As played, crying fold the river.

    After looking again I definitely should have bet harder pre and post flop no doubt. I did fold and think it was the correct play as I would have tilt played to get chips back.

    Never act action starved when you get AA. Because if you do, a lot of times you get action from hands you don't want it from. You have to face facts. The ONLY ways you're winning a big pot with AA are:

    1) Someone has KK and rags flop.
    2) Someone flops top pair with AK, AQ, KQ.
    3) You flop a set of aces and someone elses gets two pair or top pair.

    At any other scenario you just need to bet the pot and take it down.

    You just can't reraise to 180 in a 600+ pot with top pair.
