i very much doubt 6 2 was favourite vs aa pre flop. ;-)

the guy with kq suited wasnt favourite post flop either ;-)

the AA limped 1st then called the reraise and this was against a committed stack if he shoved,big oops by AA.

this is probably a better example, approaching the bubble in mtt. really not sure how well i played this. to me ive pretty much exposed my hand pre flop. ive said to him i have such a good hand i really want you to call. the italian fella likes his q9 suited too much to consider folding.

even when he hits i have outs. which i miss obviously. does anyone fold pre in his position ?

yeah i thought about shoving, but at that point im thinking this is as good a chance as im gonna get to double up, so i need to find a way to get action.

i know the italian or the cyp cant have an ace when they limp, so there are very few flops other than a paired board that are going to worry me.

essentially i was trying to bet enough to get the button to call, which if you take into account the antes he is getting a good price.

i also know that with what i have behind, when i shove the flop i probably get called by top pair.

that was the theory.

anyhow, its the suited connectors that are killing me at the moment rather than the any pair,any ace merchants.
