AA: They say pocket aces are a good way to win a small pot or lose a big pot.
I'm at UB this morning playing NLHE (.25/.50) and in the BB I get
AA. With 3 limpers I raise to $2.25. Two players call. I'm thinking"This is gonna be good."
Flop: 567 (rainbow)
I'm first to act and bet $3.75. Short stacked Player 2 goes all-in for $5, and Player 3 goes all-in for $22.40. The very first thought I have is P3 played
suited connectors like 34 or 89, a classic way to bust a big hand. May be P3 has QQ or KK, but I don't wanna risk my whole stack, so I fold. Plus, if you see my other posts, online players are loose and will call with virtually anything. I'm leary. I dont fault P2 either, she only had $5 behind.
P2: AA
P3 8
9
Turn and river no help to P2.
Player 3 flopped the straight (567/89) . I pat myself on the back for a good lay down.
What would you have done?
