Realistically, that was a -EV call by him. Unless he thinks I'm three-betting w/ A-K, A-Q type hands, where he might be ahead (or pocket 10's or less!), he was making a bad call. He just couldn't win enough money to make it worthwhile to set-mine. He just got lucky.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-14083519805316017572015-09-19T10:20:38.035-07:002015-09-19T10:20:38.035-07:00Sometimes you are just dealt a "game over&quo...Sometimes you are just dealt a "game over". Given stack sizes you are supposed to go broke there. He hit his two outer...and that's that....nothing you could do.

Sucks but that is just a bad flop for AA.

FWIW, I like how you played it here.Grange95https://www.blogger.com/profile/01857460215043659894noreply@blogger.com
