Was playing a cash table on pacific poker this morning........ 5c 10c brought $10 to the table, after about a hour i managed to get myself up to around $20 when I got this hand ..........A,Q offsuite........... I raise to 30 after 2 limp in the player next to act calls then the rest fold including the limper....... flop comes A,Q,A ..... i wonder how i get paid....but as i raised pre flop i put in a bet of 60c which is called, 10 on the turn and i check to see what he dose and to reraise if he bets........... and he dose 92c so i reraise to $1.84 and he calls ............ the flop comes 5spades and i think how much do i bet and decided to go for the max ... and push all in and he calls with his last $10.36 Bringing the pot total to $32.32 less the rake ...... and me very happy......... but i was thinking if it had been me with the A,K i probably would have played it the same as him and lost too
What about you would you have gone broke on this hand.

yea. i think i would have gone too given that 3 of a kind A the chances of appearing in other players card is relatively small.. and even if other player have A, the chances of another pair is even smaller and the K is very promising.. its inevitable i guess..
I think it would have been more interesting if you didn't reveal what the villain was holding. Although i think you played this hand spot on against AK, esp since he prob took ur check as weakness & the all in as a defensive move. Plus its tough to get away from AK when you flop trips & if the queen hadnt dropped on the flop, you would have been losing quite a big pot. Well played.

AK with that flop is too dificult for me, almost impossible, to fold. Of course, when AK sees his oponent beting and raising, he knows he has the other Ace, and wonders if he is even better having Queen, but AK will always think that is what the oponent wants AK to think, although its not the truth. The worst is when, afterall, everything was true...

i would have gone broke, because of the top set plus a great kicker. There is a small chance that the other player has an A too. But the turn with the 10 would slow me down a little bit.

I would have folded to your river bet. I mean I would have a really nice hand a not the nuts, QQ,1010,55, AQ and Jx beat me, so to call 100BB on a spot like this make no sense to me.
I guess you had lucky that he called you. Anyway nice flop, doesn't it?

With so many cards against me on the river I think I fold more than 70% of the time. The villan (you) has obv. a hand he likes, and by the small raise pf (just 3x BB), QQ or 1010 is likely, or how about KJs ? Only if the guy was obv. a donk or a newbie I would call

AK is a good hand in that board but easily dominated. I have no idea what I would have done but i would have definitely to think a lot about it before calling allin

i don't think i would have folded that hand, folding that would have been too difficult for me and unless i had good read on you i would have called that one

Its one of them very hard decisions you have to make and have to be right in order to get through the big fields in MTTs. If you can go broke and the thought is in your head that you are second best then folding may be very very hard but think of the feeling if you find out you was right...! It can be folded and should have been folded. There still the straight out there and not to menti0on the full house.... How many times have i seen trip A get punnished ..lol it does happen for sure. The more i think about it AK here is shite ... sure you could have got away from it YEAH?

Yeah I'd have called. But I would never be playing that deep in the first place so there would have been definitely no getting away from that with my standard buy in. However when playing that deep I dunno, probably would have still called alright.
Probably yes. I would have reraised if I was him so that would of changed the course of how the hand was played. So if you called my reraise, yes I prob would go busto because I would of played that kind of flop pretty damn hard with AK. Nice job on the hand
Would have folded to your push. In fact, in a very similar situation I folded ace-high straight couple of days ago on Full Tilt.The guy showed exactly the same hand as yours (disregarding suits). Saved myself a lot of money.

^If you fold this you are playing wayyyyy too tight for 5/10c see what hands the raiser could have. Considering that its 5 10c:
ANY ace. pocket Queens. pocket tens. if he's crazy enough KK Maybe KQ could even have some huge draw depending of the suits of the AQA of these 20 or so hands only A10 AQ A5 and QQ have your AK beat. and there is still a chance he has some random pocket sevens or KJ or something.. and is bluffing.
I don't think there is anyway you can fold even on the end. Maybe, MAYBE you can reluctantly call, but I am pretty sure against the 5/10c donks you would call in about 5 seconds. Maybe at 5/10 dollars you could fold.. but at 5/10c NO WAY.
