I do not know if this is correct, but I do not like shoving turn...that card completed the straight/flush, plus he could still have a ten. I would check turn, and hate life on river....prob fold to a shove

Yeah, classic puke scenario. I think check and fold to a river bet is best.

With the stack size I like this for some reason.. cause it would be so gross to fold this any way

And I'm also seeing a trend of being called pretty light by guys OTB because they all think they're Phil Someone and can play ATC in position... force them to soul read I'm not getting away from this 1st hand anyways

A long (internal) debate I've had of mine since the Party Poker days: do you even want aces in the first 5 hands of a tourney?

I agree w/p3rc4: sucks, but w/o shoving flop they got there at least, and you may have been behind there. Checking down makes the most sense, paying of a value bet on the river if you're me.

Check/fold. That's the 2nd worst card in the deck behind the J

and good for them if they bluff you off of your aces.

Or check/call if you can't find a fold. Where's the value in betting, are you turning your AA into a bluff and expecting trip tens to fold to your supposed flush?
