Maybe try just smooth calling with the intention of shoving on ANY flop with the exception of something like trips flopping. If he has any kind of pair he's calling and your flipping for all the money, even if he was to call your shove you still have 10 outs on this flop to take down the hand

[quote user="Ajint Orange"] You played the hand like pure crap. You are just lucky that there was someone worse than you at the table. I don't understand how you call after putting him on AA. What is going to come on the flop that is going to make you think you are getting the odds to crack AA? You're other cards are low, so to beat AA, you'd need low cards to come, low cards would most likely give him the low side of the pot (assuming he has AA like you guessed). I mean if

Never fold AK in this spot, think of his range of hands in which he would push here and your a clear favorite against all but AA/KK. QQ and lower and it's a coin-flip leaving you with still plenty of chips should you lose the hand. Than again i'm no expert but i'd never fold there

I.M.O your initial mistake here was not raising it pre-flop (maybe 4,000-4,500) because now you've put yourself in a guessing game, although JJ is probably the best hand here and I think you at least have to call if not pop it up. What kind of read do you have on this player? Has he been super aggressive or very tight? Would he raise preflop from early-middle position with Ax suited...KQ-KT..JTs? So what happened in the hand?

My strongest game is PLO8 (limit is good also) I also do very well in HORSE My Hold'em game still needs work both Limit and NL but is still decent What should I be playing on Full Tilt to work this up. Open to any suggestions/advice

[quote user="MadTiger"][quote user="Bricktop0585"]First off some info about my game to help. I do fairly well in live play but do to school and work I just haven't had the time to visit any of the casino's or play in some of the local late night games. I feel like my strongest game is PLO8 (also limit) and I also seem to do very well in HORSE. My Hold'em game is decent but I know I have a lot of work to do on it both in Limit and NL. I'm pretty straped for cash
