hmm, work it to only KJ beating you...

I probably would have called that, i reckon he had an ace, but not with the queen :)

But it would have been a tough call. What was your stack also?

Where you playing now dazza? I need to start playing again I think

I'd call, he never has AQ/8/T in this spot. He is very unlikely to have KJ in this spot also, but that is player dependent but highly unlikely.
 
Struggling to work out what he could have had, any Ace would surely have tried to get some value buy the turn

KJ is certainly possible as he had nothing until river though a huge shove on a AA paired board is always risky with a straight, he may get paid by an A but is in trouble to a boat

10 10 would have raised pre

I don't think 10 10 pre-flop would have made a re-raise on the initial raise to 0.20 though tbh, just incase of a crappy flop coming out which it would have been to 10-10.

I'm sticking with trip aces :)
 
0.20 was a call not a raise :) so I think that rules 10 10 out

Ace rag is possible but I can't see why they didn't try and get value earlier
 
Ah so it was my bad :)

Maybe he just had a high pair 10s'n up and thought with everyone checking he was just stealing the pot... either that or trip aces :D

Err.. A tad smaller that his, about €12. 90% of the time I'd call there but that was tricky. Was he slow playing a made hand? The way it panned out on the river he must have thought with a bet and a 3x raise he'd get a caller, hence why I folded. Very tough one, but I still think I was right.
 
I think the problem you had Dazza and the fact you were put in such a difficult call on the river, was due to a very weak limp in the 2nd opening position. If you're going to play as open/loose as you appear on this hand, then you need to make the big calls and read players extremely well.

When you limp in, you tend to leave your self open to calls, raises, check raises and so forth. Without putting out a feeler on the flop or the turn you have no information which is the hardest part of this hand.

I reckon you had him beaten and comfortably too. Reading the hand I thought straight away "steal". Without previous betting hands, I don't know for certain.
 
Yep, I've only just got back into it really. Nowhere near my "A" game. I don't even know what I was doing playing such rags but hey. Many hands had me beat there - if he wants to risk €12 to win €2.5 then he'll get burnt sooner or later. Not for me.

The old Full Tilt AQ hate-machine's in full force today:

el_dazza calls 350
dudulri folds
iori79 calls 300
*** FLOP *** [9d Ad Ah]
el_dazza checks
iori79 checks
caataalin checks
*** TURN *** [9d Ad Ah] [Kd]
ZlatnaRibica AS: 9k
el_dazza bets 650
iori79 calls 650
caataalin folds
*** RIVER *** [9d Ad Ah Kd] [Jh]
el_dazza bets 800
iori79 calls 800
*** SHOW DOWN ***
el_dazza shows [Qd As] three of a kind, Aces
iori79 shows [Qh Td] a straight, Ace high

Without doubt, but on his behalf it was a calculated move and probably had the tables number. He could have ran into a big hand there, but essentially didn't. Once the table checks on the flop and turn, he pretty much knew he was safe.

Every one needs to play a rag now and again as it keeps people guessing (make sure you show the rags every so often too). Just don't get drawn into playing rags and trying to hit it big.
 
On a bit of a roll recently, won 8 out of last 11 online SNGs

Live only played 5 small games, 3 SNGs and won them all and 2 x 20 man with a 1st and a 4th
 
I'm going to make a conceited effort to get back into it I think. Will be a long road back as it's been that long since I've played! :/
 
Keep making some terrible mistakes when not reading the flop properly. Got knocked out in 3rd posistion of a 27player sng when I got dealt Aces and just refused to put them down. Always stupid stuff.
