That Hand From A Couple Days Ago

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1419134

There it is, in all its glory.

This guy was pretty new at the table, so after I potted pre-flop I didn't think he was making a move or anything. I was close to 100% sure he had aces. After running the percentages through Cardplayer.com's odds calculator, I am slightly better than a 2:1 dog pre-flop, and I was getting the right price on a call, with position on my opponent. After the flop, the hand is a dead coinflip, but I still got it all-in pretty light, something I shouldn't be doing. On the turn I am somehow behind 55/45, despite needing any 9, T, J, K, A, or spade to take the pot.

If you were that guy, and I re-raised all-in on the flop, would you call your stack off with aces?


No, me neither. As Ian said, I would probably put you (me) on a set of queens. Either way, that pot put me at even on UltimateBet.

I started playing on FullTilt yesterday, and so far so good, the PLO games are juicy there too. I'm up 15.00.
