So I’m in the casino 300$ in my stack 2$/3$ blinds I’ve been there for half an hour I haven’t played a single hand suddenly I’m under the gun with 2 black aces I open to 25$ the guy to my left is only caller flop is queen of clubs 8 of clubs 2 of diamonds I bet 45$ he re raises me to 90$ and I instantly shove all in for 300$ he snap calls I show him aa and he shows he j10 of clubs 🤣 turn is death 9 of hearts and I’m drawing dead :cry: I played this correct right nothing I can do terribly bad beat…
You played right, but he had so many outs:
All 4 kings
All 4 8s
All club
And runner runner 2x Jack
And runner runner 2x 10
Without doing the math, he had around 20 cards that were outs for him. Which is roughly half the deck left.
Not easy to make a read of j10 suited.
But likely if you bet more pre flop, he would have folded and you wouldn’t have gotten yourself into this situation. Which is the best way to protect pocket As against hands like this.
If the guy would have called a big pre flop Bet, with you in action position, you would check the flop to see how he beats. Which will let you see if his hand is weak or strong in comparison to what flopped.
But it sounds like you limped in with AA to hope to lure someone into a bad play, and you got lured yourself. Which is the biggest risk of limping with a big pre flop hand.
