I don't see where he showed any weakness. He put more money in the pot every single chance he got, I see no reason to be calling with Ace high and weak redraw. Pocket 10's is about the worst hand he would ever show up with here, which still has you beat. If you're going to put your money in on a coin-flip, do it when you're drawing to the nuts.

sounds like you got leveled

When the sm bb min raises your late pos raise, sirens should immediately go off. If he 'wanted' you to fold, why would he min raise in the first place? If I bought in for $90, I would honestly consider folding pre flop, but for the sake of argument, let's assume that flatting isn't the worst option. After I completely miss the flop and he leads, I prob just fold it up and imply that I folded KK or something else utterly impossible, lol. The worst hand he should be showing up with is an Ace with a bigger flush draw..

I think I would have given serious consideration to draining my beer and then busting it over this prick's head for talking when it's my turn to act and then calling clock on me. But yeah, I think I'm just folding to his open on the flop; even with the redraw I just dont think you're ever going to be able to play this hand with any confidence of a positive outcome.

Yeah I guess I did, I mean his play kind of sucked. Min raise with 33 OOP?? When an Ace High flop hits what does he do?

his image of arrogance is good against a "spite call"

Yeah, I'm not use to bet sizing in 1/2 live yet. Thanks.

The reason why sirens weren't going off was he seemed like a maniac. He couldn't wait to get some money into a pot. He tried to get into the first hand, and threw down a couple $25 chips. Then went to the cashier and came back with $100+ more. Definitely will be folding in these spots now. I thought about the bigger flush draw after, just made me think of how big of a dumbass I was for doing that. Thanks.

He had 33 for a set.

Lol I thought the calling the clock thing was kind of funny, but it really influenced me to call I think. I've never been put on the spot like that. Thanks for the response.

If you are ever going to raise in this spot you should have a hand that you are willing to call it off on. With you holding the AJ in this spot, you are rarely a fav against a range ur opponent is shoving, especially, considering its his second hand at the table. Calling off here ur hoping to be against top two or a set, cause if not ur flush draw is dominated 100% of the time. Best bet if ur going to flat is to check fold or check float and see if he shuts down if a spade hits. Best of luck on the felt.

Yeah, I've noticed that most of the stacks are pretty big usually. This past Tuesday there were a few more smaller stacks then I usual see. Most of my table seemed like fish, and were pretty passive. Only one guy appeared to be playing super tight. I guess the reason why I thought I had more outs was because of his super aggressive image. It would have been only right if I hit my spade. Very next hand I pushed for $25 with KK, and he called quick with like a6 lol. He had a platinum card and everything, fuck him. Thanks a lot, but I don't think I am going to be playing soon. After I lost $200+ in the span of 10 mins or less I feel so much less confidence in my game, like I never even knew how to play to begin with. Sucks, but I just need to figure some things out I guess.

Honestly I probs would have folded pre. A min raise to 16 is just really fishy, and the type of hands hes likely to do so with have you crushed most of the time. If you want to call I'd shut down post flop after he leads cause he probs gotcha beat

Raise more pre otb with AJo after 2 limpers. Make it like $15 or $16 imo and the hand becomes exponentially easier to play on all streets... I don't think u played the hand terribly post flop, tho it woulda been more standard to get it in if u had the As as opposed to the Js.
