AHAHA What a hand man That's the risk of fishing, by the way texas holde'em can develop any kind of situation and this is not the most strange one of course

Posted by CunteN: Haha, that misstake is easy..Many times i dont raise with AA because i dont want the other players to fold...I want them to raise me
n1!
Then you should know your opponents. This would be a tricky play if you have one or two "punish the limpers" type of players at your table. But this play will bring you in trouble, if the guys are passiv and happy to limp behind.

Ya, very bad play by him. Why pushing when blinds could easily have a 2?
Reminds me of a hand where I limped with aces, all fold to bb and he checks. Flop gives him 2 pair, all money goes in and board paired on turn so I had better 2 pair. I was 3-1 dog on flop, not that bad odds. But it was tournament and blinds were high so I would do it again.

Well i think you're talking about a totally different situation aren't you? A cash game is far away from a tournament with high blinds right? by the way you are the Texas hold'em expert here

For sure, cash and turney - two different worlds. Back to subject, Thats good from time to time someone is loosing with "bullets" especially after such a horrible play! There shoudlnt be any pocket that you always feel "for sure" to win, and happily there arent such a pockets
