    Does anyone on pokerstars know how to fold preflop??

    A guy shoves UTG, next guy calls, I look down and see JJ, I come over the top all in for 3/4 of this other guys chips, he insta-calls and flips AQo. I bet you can guess what happened next, 226 on flop, 6 turn, A on river. Did I make the wrong move by re-raising in this spot? I'd think any "decent" player would know how to fold those cards given the situation. Maybe I give my opponents too much credit.

    BTW, this is a 4.40 180 in early stages (level 3 or 4) and I was second in chips behind only the guy that called me.

    Early in a 4.40 I call with AQ almost every time, if I can rule AA out of your hand. Things move so fast you gotta take a coin flip, and besides everyone knows the A always hits.

    Its pretty easy actually. The fold Button is the one on the left. I think maybe you should have pushed it this hand. Without seeing Chip Stacks and what not. When you have shove and call JJ might not be good or your at best flipping. And dont fuck around with people who can bust you with JJ. JJ are the devil man. Especially in these. There are very few decent players. Why do you want to coin flip for all your money at this point? Outplay these guys. Dont try to outrace them. You dont have too.

    The first Shove was for around 600, me and other guy had over 4k, my shove was a huge reraise considering size of the pot etc..... maybe I need someone to give me lessons or something, can't win online but can run the table at a casino.....argh
