    this flop isn't bad for aces, r/c Flumpdizzle on the flop r/f if 2_highroller raises and Flumpdizzle shoves

    This board has GREAT texture for your AA. I honestly don't understand what you'd be scared of other than a King (and there's only two left). If you're scared of playing AA on this board...you might as well fold it every time, because they don't get a lot better than this without flopping a set.

    When Flump sticks a post-oak candy-ass min-bet into a 29k pot, I'd be raising about 150% of the time.

    Ok, lets pretend you had nothing... the guy bets 3000 into huge pot. Players will make these small bets and I find that about 90% of time, they have nothing that they want to continue with, so a decent raise will take it down. Now, it is definitely different because you have AA even though there are two kings on the flop. By calling his tiny flop bet, you have no clue where you stand in the hand, so you want to raise him to maybe 10,000 or so since you are worried that he has the king. If he does not have that king, he is usually going away. If he calls, then you could proceed with caution and probably just check fold. You never raised him though, so you made it more expensive for yourself in the hand and allowed him to catch his card all while never knowing where you were at. Biggest mistake players can do is not finding out where they are at early when it is cheap. The pot was already 30 percent of your opponent's stacks after they called your original raise, so it is significant enough that you want to find out where you stand and just take it down there if possible. Keep in mind, he prob wouldn't call your raise with a worse hand unless he is drawing, so that helps to narrow stuff a bit. Better to win a small pot than lose a big one, even though the pot wasn't that small, lol...

    Theirs no way you should have been scare their playing at micro levels like this, yuo usually have to assume the less experienced player are more likely to give away their hands.. no re-raise preflop= no AK or better usually. you're going all the way to the river in the hand anyways so you may as well have taken control of the hand, even if you are scared of a king youre always betting that flop atleast to see where you're at, if you get a call proceed with caution, but he's most likely folding their if you were agressive. Theirs no room for timidness in tourneys. im gettin it in their 100% of the time with no reraise. Both of you should have never seen that river.
