you did nothing wrong.

You got called by someone playing ATC (any two cards) and they managed to hit on the flop.
Once they checked raised you, they had to have something good, or just assumed you missed (ie had AK) and were trying to get rid of you.

Its called a cooler, bad beat, etc...its poker.

thanks, i appreciate it!

Be happy someone is calling your 3 bets with 76o! It's a losing play from him long term, take comfort in that.. As repspec said a check raise at 2NL nearly always represents a strong made hand! The question is what is a strong hand to this villain? Some weaker players think top pair on this flop is a strong hand, stronger players may make this play with 2 pair or sets.

Don't forget there was a possible straight on the flop! 45 would give them the nuts, but I've been in this situation and it is hard to lay aces down!

What his check raise represents is entirely based on the player! Another player might make this play with 88 - KK.

A check raise normally always means strength in the micros, you just have to try and figure out what strength means to your opponent!

Hope this helps.

At those stakes you will get beat on hands like that all the time.

Next time jam those aces pre-flop.

Don't do this.

Thanks guys! Awesome advice!

If you often find yourself frustrated by the game when stuff like this happens, then the best approach is to take a few weeks off. Indeed it might actually be a good idea to take a few months in order to reconfigure your thought process and evaluate what you truly want out of poker. After this deep contemplation and deliberation, you should return to this forum to inform the 2+2 community of your profound insights and introspections. We can all learn a great deal from these trials and tribulations, and we should all engage in these practices more often.

Contrary to what you've read above, your mistake was 3betting all in on the flop. Only a hand that could beat your aces was going to call.

At 2nl, that's not the case in my experience. You can get called by all manner of things: over pairs, top to bottom pair, draws, over cards, or complete air. Depends on villain of course.

Standard

Any value hand of your opponents that you're beating would likely just call your flop bet, not c/r you. I don't see many stone bluffs doing this, and I don't see their value hands that you beat doing this. I see flopped straights, sets and 2-pair doing this.

I don't like the stack off on the flop. It is very difficult for new players to fold overpairs but in a vacuum this is a pretty standard fold.

OP you might find my 4-year-anniversary post interesting - it talks about how to get your mind right about the game, and how hard it can be to actually make money at it.

Good point DalTx. Getting frustrated and tilting over such a standard hand (ie overpair losing to fishy player's 2 pair) is really concerning. Definitely got to work on that mental game.

I actually don't hate the stack off in a 3bet pot readless, reason is the kind of bad player who will call 3bets that smash this flop will also call with A7ss/88 -> JJ/QQ and then panic raise it.

Ok, and what about the decent/good players that call preflop and smash this board? Ok, this is 2NL jajaja but still I can't imagine that many players are as bad as what you are saying...also, look at the large raise sizing. Villain is quite eager to play for stacks here.

Regardless, hero was stacking off here about 100% of the time vs about 100% of the villains. I'm quite confident in that. Major issue.

How many hands should we call the 3bet with OOP that then make better than AA here?

Always GII because we has AA is bad, no doubt.
