bad call
Posted: April 26th, 2006 | Author: Jeff | Filed under: Poker, Uncategorized | 1 Comment »I ran into this hand this morning. While this is a difficult situation to be in, the proper play would be to fold to the big reraise. You gotta figure that AQ is a common starting hand, your opponent hit a higher set, or was holding 89/Q9. While it’s possible that your opponent may be holding AA, AK, or KJ/K10/J10, usually you’re beat in this situation. For me to take it to the next level, I need to be that much more disciplined, especially in these types of difficult situations.

Honestly I can say folding trips it hard, but I’ve done it a few times. On a board like that I’m surprised you didn’t fold. Your raise on the flop was the correct play. The reraise though had to give it away.
I’m assuming that most “sane” people don’t bluff with a all in reraise. Personally I would have put him on AQ. Obviously if the board came out something like TJ4 then I would have called the all-in. The very dangerous KJT though makes it a lot easier to fold.
