If this hand is a debateable VPIP under normal conditions, it's definitely fine with an Ace exposed. This makes a bigger difference than people realize.

If you're going to limp it should be to squeeze here. IDK why you seem to be implying that this hand plays well multi-way OOP. If villain literally raises 50% of hands then I would not be opening this hand. L/rr is the play.

Lol at folding river against this player type. The hand is well-played post.

Did you read the V description? He's aggro and barreling. He can't always have top pair+. I absolutely expect this V to barrel ANY pair or any draw. Eliminating combos based on him double barreling seems silly.

This!

could there have been a smidge of tilt going on knowing you would have had AK ?

Ya, I agree that the exposed ace makes a bigger difference than people are realizing here as well.
It’s less about what I don’t have and more about what V is far less likely to have because of it. Specifically AK and AA combos, which is a significant portion of what beats me here.

I also agree that I botched pre here. If I raised 3-4x pre like a few have said here, I would have saved a good chunk of $. Funny how screwing up just a few streets in a super long session can cost you so much. I ended up booking a very small win after a long 14 hour session even though I ran really bad the whole time, but if I played 2 streets in 2 specific hands better I would have booked a 200bb win.

Lesson learned: every street played optimal really matters a lot.

Yeah. This guy can’t have it every time, but I think he actually was just sun running for a few hours, and bluffing in all the right spots, which is so much easier when sun running.

Not during the hand.
Afterwards, definitely a fair amount of tilt at myself, and also the dealer (I didn’t give him a tough time about it, but I was definitely tilted by how much it changed my thinking about the hand). I very very rarely get tilted at a dealer, or in general even. I’m pretty good at keeping my emotions in check.

Cool, I got ya now. Thanks for clarifying.

That's pretty results oriented. Single decisions might have a huge impact on your session result, but they won't often have a huge impact on your EV.

Alright, this mostly all confirmed what I was originally thinking.
My main mistake is pre, but I think folding K-Jo 7 handed with an ace exposed is pretty nitty in my books. If I opened here, I get 3! pre and save $450+.

Thanks for the input everyone!

Yeah, true. I’m usually not very results oriented.
I thought that I played this hand well postflop, like you said.
But pre really did cost me here. One mistake can make a big difference is all I’m saying. Glad to get the input of some internet players here (I assume you play online and live).

OP, you really don't have to respond to every single reply. You would want to be careful you don't turn your own thread into one giant tl;dr. At least in my humble opinion.

I’ll do what I prefer, but thanks for the tip.
And apologies for replying.

It’s just one of the many hands he has. Raise pre and you lose $15 or he slow plays and you lose the same amount.
