Game is 2/2 NL full ring (min $60/max $200), was first couple of hands so not a lot of information about players. Lot of limping in this game, couple of weak-tight players, mostly tight players. Effective stacks of $120-200. Players view me as a solid, aggressive player. I bought in the minimum ($60).

Hero: $58 (SB) dealt Ah7c
5 players limp, Hero checks, BB checks

Flop ($12): Ad As Js

Hero checks, checks around to CO (loose player) who bets $5, Button folds, Hero calls $5, folds to MP (pretty standard ABC player, mid 60's) calls $5

Turn ($27): Ad As Js Qc

Hero shoves all in $51, MP calls, CO folds

River ($129): Ad As Js Qc 3d

I know I played the hand terribly, just want a few opinions. Thanks.

would either of those players limp AK AQ or AJ? seems like most people would raise those pf. i c him calling with A/2-T there a lot and u guys chop.

I probably shove flop TBH you only have about 20BB's left anyways

MP would raise AK-AT 95% of time, and I feel CO would raise AK-A5 95% of the time. After the flop, I am about 80-90% sure I have the best hand. My mistake in this hand was check/calling the $5 bet by the CO (who would likely do this with almost any two to steal or a Jx). Anyways, MP showed KT for a made gutshot on the turn, where I shoved the flop. I wanted to raise, and I don't know why i didn't (I guess I wanted to slowplay).


How much do I need to raise there or is it just a clear shove?

well if u wanna check the flop once you get someone to bet you gotta check/raise a/i imo..

That's true, I should have check raised all in, but if I bet flop, I'm about 75/80% sure everyone folds...I wanted someone to check/call behind. Do you lead the betting there on flop or check/ raise all in and risk checks behind? 2 spades and any King, Queen, or 10 make possible straights. So I guess the correct play would be to check/shove all in short stacked and bet or check/raise flop deep stacked? Which play is better knowing if you lead the bet 75/80% of the time everyone folds?

1) buyin for $200. 2) bet the flop, if you get raised then you should 3bet shove

Buy in $200, bet pot in 6-way limp pot ($12) and assume MP raises to $30, pop it to $186?

Also, since I had $60 how do you play out the hand from the flop?

Bet the flop for value. Checking really achieves very little.

Why are we in for so short.....youre lighting money on fire. As played you have teh nuts get it in on flop?
